Question:

A model hydrofoil is tested in a water tunnel. For a given angle of attack, the lift of the hydrofoil is measured to be 25 kN when the water velocity is 15 m/s in the tunnel. If the prototype hydrofoil is to be twice the size of the model, what lift force would be expected for the prototype for dynamically similar conditions? Assume a water temperature of 20°C for both model and prototype.
