Question:

A student team is to design a human-powered submarine for a design competition. The overall length of the prototype submarine is 4.85 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 (Fig. P7–37). 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 achieve similarity?
