Question:

The motion of a submarine is being studied in a laboratory. The prototype speed of interest is 5 m/sec in the ocean. Inertial forces and viscous forces govern the motion. At what theoretical speed must a 1:10 model be towed to establish similarity between the model and the prototype? Assume that the seawater and towing tank water are the same.
