7.3 It is desired to determine the wave height when wind blows
across a lake. The wave height, H, is assumed to be a function
of the wind speed, V, the water density, p, the air density, p,, the
water depth, d, the distance from the shore, ¢, and the acceleration
of gravity, g, as shown in Fig. P7.7. Use d, V, and p as repeating
variables to determine a suitable set of pi terms that could be used
to describe this problem.

Using the common dimensionless terms found in Table 7.1, deter-
mine the functional relationship for the dependent diameter ratio
of dD.
Given d=f(D,V,e,4,7) $0 that k=6 (there 6 variables)
and r=3 (it takes MLT or FLT to describe them).
Hence, k-r =6-3=3 which means that 2 pi terms are
needed.
T, = OCT, %), where Ti, 4 is clearly dimensienless.,
With the independent variables (i.e, D, V0, 4,7) if is clear
that the Reynolds number canbe one of the M terms.
Hence, set 7, = eVD/u.
7% must inclvde the surface tension, T, since st does not
appear in Ty or 7. Based on the information in Table 7.1
it is seen thal the Weben number, We, can be the other 7 term,

7.22 A large, rigid, rectangular billboard is supported by an elastic
column as shown in Fig. P7.22. There is concern about the deflec-
tion, 6, of the top of the structure during a high wind of velocity
V. A wind tunnel test is to be conducted with a 1:15 scale model.
Assume the pertinent column variables are its length and cross-
sectional dimensions, and the modulus of elasticity of the material
used for the column. The only important “wind” variables are the
air density and velocity. (a) Determine the model design condi-
tions and the prediction equation for the deflection. (b) If the same
structural materials are used for the model and prototype, and the
wind tunnel operates under standard atmospheric conditions, what
is the required wind tunnel velocity to match an 80 km/hr wind?Front View Side View
