2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the Froude number?
Think about the forces involved in a flowing fluid.
Explain the purpose of using distorted models in hydraulic engineering.
Consider why you wouldn't always use the same scales.
What does the Froude number represent?
Think about the forces acting on fluid in gravity.
True or False: Distorted models require exact scaling of all dimensions.
Consider what 'distortion' means in this context.
Given a model with a Froude number of 0.5 and a prototype with a velocity of 2 m/s, determine the model velocity.
Acknowledge the relationship established by the Froude SoP!
A model river stretch has a discharge of 30 m³/s with a length scale of 1/100. What is the prototype discharge?
Make sure to apply the cubic relationship correctly for discharge.
