Question:

A hydraulic model, 1/20 scale, is built to simulate the flow conditions of a spillway of a dam. For a particular run, the waves downstream were observed to be 8 cm high. How high would be similar waves on the full-scale dam operating under the same conditions? If the wave period in the model is 2 s, what would the wave period in the prototype be?
