A student team is to design a human-powered submarine for a design competition. The overall length of the prototype submarine is 95 (m), and its student designers hope that it can travel fully submerged through water at 0.440 m/s. The water is freshwater (a lake) at T = 15°C. The design team builds a one-fifth scale model to test in their university’s wind tunnel. A shield surrounds the drag balance strut so that the aerodynamic drag of the strut itself does not influence the measured drag. The air in the wind tunnel is at 25°C and at one standard atmosphere pressure. At what air speed do they need to run the wind tunnel in order to achievesimilarity?
5.8 Calculate the drag coefficient and drag force on a cylindrical shape flag post of the ship having diameter 60 mm and 3m long exposed to wind velocity of 10m/s. The density and the kinematic viscosity of air are 1.2 kg/m and 1.6x 10m'/s respectively. [Ans: 10.8 N]
A rectangular block of height Land horizontal cross-sectional area A floats at the interface between two immiscible liquids, as shown below. Fluid 1 Pi(g/em³) Fluid 2 Block P:(g/cm³) Po(g/cm³) (a) Derive a formula for the block density, Pp, in terms of the fluid densities p, and p2, the heights họ. h1, and h2, and the cross-sectional area A. (It is not necessary that all of these variables appear in the final result.) (b) Force balances on the block can be calculated in two ways: (i) in terms of the weight of the block and the hydrostatic forces on the upper and lower block surfaces; and (ii) in terms of the weight of the block and the buoyant force on the block as expressed by Archimedes' principle. Prove that these two approaches are equivalent.
1. In the figure shown below, choose whether the statement is true or false (Please justify your answer) (a) At a give x-location, if Re were to increase, the boundary layer thickness would decrease. (b) As upstream velocity decreases, so does the boundary layer thickness (c) As the kinematic viscosity increases, so does the boundary layer thickness (d) As the fluid density decreases, so does the boundary layer thickness (e) As the x-location increases, so does the boundary layer thickness
An ongoing research to investigate the unsteady aerodynamics of insect flight is being conducted at the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory in NUS; the outcomes of which are important in the development Flapping Micro-Air-Vehicles. As part of this research, an experiment has been conducted on a simplified two-dimensional elliptic wing to study the effect of sinusoidal heaving (i.e. moving up and down) and pitching (1.e. oscillating) motion of the wing on the generation of propulsion force. The wing has a chord length (distance between the leading and trailing edge of the wing) of c, and is pitching about the mid-chord (i.e. c/2 from the leading edge) as shown in Figure 3(a). The thrust or propulsive force of the wing (I) is expected to be a function of free stream velocity (U), chord length (c), frequency of heaving (f), amplitude of heaving (A), frequency of pitching (2), angular amplitude of pitching (a), density of fluid (p) and dynamic viscosity (u). Rewrite this relation in non-dimensional…

A blimp is designed to move in air at C at 7 m/s. If a 1:20 scale model is tested in water at 20 "C, what should the water velocity be? If the measured water drag on the model is 3.2kN, calculate the drag on the prototype blimp and the power required to propel it. (For water u 1.02x10 pa.s, p 1000 kg/m' and for air a 1.81x10 pa.s, p 1.2kg/m')
5.7 The rectangular roof sheet of a kennel has a dimension of 6m x 2m. Calculate the drag force on its upper surface if the wind is blowing parallel to its length at 3m/s. The density and the kinematic viscosity of air are 1.2 kg/m³ and 1.6 x 10-3 m/s, respectively. [Ans: 0.195 N]
A paramecium is an elongated unicellular organism with approximately 50 μmin diameters and 150 μmin lengths. It swims through water by whip-like movements of cilia, small hairs on the outside of its body. Because it moves "head first" through the water, drag is determined primarily by its diameter and only secondarily by its length, so it's reasonable to model the paramecium as a 70-μm diameter sphere. A paramecium uses 2.0 PW of locomotive power to propel itself through 20∘C water, where 1 pW = 1 picowatt = 10−12W. What is its swimming speed in μm/s? Express your answer in micrometers per second.

Determine: a) the speed of the water in the water tunnel for dynamic similarity D) the ratio of the drag force on the model to the drag force on the prototype
Consider fully developed flow between two infinite parallel plates separated by distance h, with the top plate moving and the bottom plate stationary. The flow is steady, incompressible, and two-dimensional in the xy-plane. a) Use the first principle (dimensional analysis) to generate a dimensionless relationship for the x-component of fluid velocity u as a function of fluid viscosity μ, top plate speed v, distance h, fluid density ρ, and distance y. b) Name the common dimensionless number formed in (a).
