Scale effects in physical hydraulic engineering models

Scale effects arise due to force ratios which are not identical between a model and its real-world prototype and result in deviations between the up-scaled model and prototype observations. This review article considers mechanical, Froude and Reynolds model-prototype similarities, describes scale ef...
