Question: Problem Model tests for ships are carried out under the condition that Froude number F r = v g L W L 2 of ship

Problem Model tests for ships are carried out under the condition that Froude number Fr=vgLWL2 of ship and model are the same, i.e.
Fr=vSgLWLS2=vMgLWLM2
Subscript ?S indicates full scale ship properties and subscript ?M model properties.
(a) Compute the Froude number Fr for a ship of water line length LWLS=183.0m sailing at a speed of vS=22.4kn. Use g=9.807ms2 for the gravitational acceleration. Make sure you use consistent units! Remember that 1kn=1852m3600s=0.5144bar(4)ms
(2 of 50 points)
(b) At which speed vM will the model be tested if you build a model at scale =LSLM=28?(2 of 50 points)
(c) Compute the Reynolds numbers Re=v*LoSv for full scale ship and model under the conditions stated above. The length over wetted surface of the full scale vessel is LOSS=189.2m. Kinematic viscosity of sea water at 15 degree Celsius is
