A dam 15 m long is to discharge water at a rate of 114/s under a head of 3 m. Find the corresponding length and head of its model if the discharge in the laboratory is fixed at 30 I/s.
A tidal basin is built to a scale of 1: 100 to study the waves and forces in a harbor. If the velocity in the model is 0.15 m, what is the corresponding velocity in the prototype? What is the time period in the model corresponding to 1 day in the prototype? If the breakwater in the model is subjected to a force of 20 N, determine the corresponding force in the prototype.
