  • Chapter 5 Dimensional Analysis and Similarity
    Chapter 5 Dimensional Analysis and Similarity Motivation. In this chapter we discuss the planning, presentation, and interpretation of experimental data. We shall try to convince you that such data are best presented in dimensionless form. Experiments which might result in tables of output, or even mul- tiple volumes of tables, might be reduced to a single set of curves—or even a single curve—when suitably nondimensionalized. The technique for doing this is dimensional analysis. Chapter 3 presented gross control-volume balances of mass, momentum, and en- ergy which led to estimates of global parameters: mass flow, force, torque, total heat transfer. Chapter 4 presented infinitesimal balances which led to the basic partial dif- ferential equations of fluid flow and some particular solutions. These two chapters cov- ered analytical techniques, which are limited to fairly simple geometries and well- defined boundary conditions. Probably one-third of fluid-flow problems can be attacked in this analytical or theoretical manner. The other two-thirds of all fluid problems are too complex, both geometrically and physically, to be solved analytically. They must be tested by experiment. Their behav- ior is reported as experimental data. Such data are much more useful if they are ex- pressed in compact, economic form. Graphs are especially useful, since tabulated data cannot be absorbed, nor can the trends and rates of change be observed, by most en- gineering eyes. These are the motivations for dimensional analysis. The technique is traditional in fluid mechanics and is useful in all engineering and physical sciences, with notable uses also seen in the biological and social sciences.

Geometric similarity: The model and the prototype must be similar in shape. (Fig. 39a) This is essential because one can use a constant scale factor to relate the dimensions of model and prototype. 2. Dynamic similarity: The flow conditions in two cases are such that all forces (pressure viscous, surface tension, etc) must be parallel and may also be scaled by a constant scaled factor at all corresponding points. Such requirement is restrictive and may be difficult to implement under certain experiential conditions. Dimensional analysis can be used to identify the dimensional groups to achieve dynamic similarity between geometrically similar flows.

  • Dimensional Analysis and Similitude
    Fluid Mechanics Chapter 8 Dimensional Analysis and Similitude Dr. Amer Khalil Ababneh Introduction Because of the complexity of fluid mechanics, the design of many fluid systems relies heavily on experimental results. Tests are typically carried out on a subscale model, and the results are extrapolated to the full-scale system (prototype). The principles underlying the correspondence between the model and the prototype are addressed in this chapter. Dimensional analysis is the process of grouping of variables into significant dimensionless groups, thus reducing problem complexity. Similitude (Similarity) is the process by which geometric and dynamic parameters are selected for the subscale model so that meaningful correspondence can be made to the full size prototype. 8.2 Buckingham Π Theorem In 1915 Buckingham showed that the number of independent dimensionless groups (dimensionless parameters) can be reduced from a set of variables in a given process is n - m, where n is the number of variables involved and m is the number of basic dimensions included in the variables. Buckingham referred to the dimensionless groups as Π, which is the reason the theorem is called the Π theorem. Henceforth dimensionless groups will be referred to as π-groups. If the equation describing a physical system has n dimensional variables and is expressed as then it can be rearranged and expressed in terms of (n - m) π- groups as 1 ( 2 , 3 ,..., nm ) Example If there are five variables (F, V, ρ, μ, and D) to describe the drag on a sphere and three basic dimensions (L, M, and T) are involved. By the Buckingham Π theorem there will be 5 - 3 = 2 π-groups that can be used to correlate experimental results in the form F= f(V, r, m, D) 8.3 Dimensional Analysis Dimensional analysis is the process used to obtain the π-groups.

One of the important theorems in dimensional analysis is known as the Buckingham Π theorem, so called since it involves non-dimensional groups of the products of the quantities. In this topic, Buckingham Π theorem and its uses are thoroughly discussed. We shall discuss the planning, presentation, and interpretation of experimental data and demonstrate that such data are best presented in dimensionless form. Experiments which might result in tables of output, or even multiple volumes of tables, might be reduced to a single set of curves—or even a single curve—when suitably non- dimensionalized. The technique for doing this is dimensional analysis. Also, Physical models for hydraulic structures or river courses are usually built to carry out experimental studies under controlled laboratory conditions. The main purposes of physical models are to replicate a small-scale hydraulic structure or flow phenomenon in a river and to investigate the model performance under different flow and sediment conditions. The concept of similitude is commonly used so that the measurements made in a laboratory model study can be used to describe the characteristics of similar systems in the practical field situations.

    SIMILITUDE MODELING IN RDC ACTIVITIES Rosli Darmawan1, Nor Mariah Adam2, Nuraini Abdul Aziz2 and M. Khairol Anuar M. Ariffin2 1Malaysian Nuclear Agency, 2Universiti Putra Malaysia ABSTRACT Research and development activities would involve the scaled modelling activities in order to investigate theory, facts, thesis or concepts. In commercialisation activities, scaling-up proses is necessary for the development of pilot plants or prototypes. The issue with scaled modelling is the similarity between the small scaled model and the full scaled prototype in all aspects of the system such as physical appearance, dimension and the system behaviour. Similarly, for scaling-up process, physical parameters and behaviour of a smaller model need to be developed into a bigger prototype with similar system. Either way, the modelling process must be able to produce a reliable representation of the system or process so that the objectives or functions of the system can be achieved. This paper discusses a modelling method which may be able to produce similar representation of any system or process either in scaled-model testing or scaling-up processes. INTRODUCTION Throughout the research, development and commercialisation (RDC) activities, more often than not there will be a process where the suggested idea or concept needs to be fully tested. For example, in chemical research, a new formulation study would be conducted in a laboratory with laboratory size apparatus. The study may produce the desired formulation under laboratory environment. However, if the same process would be transferred to a production plant, the same product may not be able to be produced similarly in all aspects as per laboratory product.
