Question:
A breakwater is a wall built around a harbor so the incoming waves dissipate their energy against it. The significant dimensionless parameters are the Froude number Fr and the Reynolds number Re. A particular breakwater measuring \(450 \mathrm{~m}\) long and \(20 \mathrm{~m}\) deep is hit by waves \(5 \mathrm{~m}\) high and velocities up to \(30 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). In a \(\frac{1}{100}\)-scale model of the breakwater, the wave height and velocity can be controlled. Can complete similarity be obtained using water for the model test?
