Question

Importance of model testing in fluid mechnaics

Answer 1

In fluid mechanics, model testing concept is referred as similitude concept since its main application falls under hydraulics and aerospace sectors. Importance of this model testing is to test the fluid flow under scaled objects. For instance. a model for a large sized object is made and its pros and cons are studied and the object is made since it has to withstand fluid flow for a long period without any disruption.
