2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define the Froude Number in your own words.
It's related to gravity and flow speed.
What formula represents the Froude Number?
What variables are involved when calculating it?
What does the Froude Number measure?
Think about how forces are acting in fluids under the influence of gravity.
True or False: The Froude Number is only relevant in turbulent flow.
Consider where gravity plays a role in fluid behavior.
A ship travels at 10 m/s in water. If the water depth is 5 m, calculate the Froude Number and explain its meaning in the context of ship design.
Ensure to use the correct values of depth and gravitational acceleration.
In a model testing an open channel where the flow speed is maintained at 2 m/s with a depth of 0.5 m, if the prototype depth is 5 m, what speed must the prototype maintain for the Froude Number to be equivalent?
Remember to set up proportions correctly and solve stepwise.
