Water with a kinematic viscosity of 10−6 m2 /s flows through a 15-cm-diameter pipe. Assuming that the viscosity of the fluid significantly affectsthe dynamics of the flow, what would the velocity of water have to be for the water flow to be dynamically similar to oil (ν = 10−5 m2 /s) flowing through the same pipe at a velocity of 3 m/s? What is meant by “dynamic similarity"?
