Homework Statement
A model spillway has a flow of 100 L/s per m of width. What is the actual flow for the
prototype spillway if the model scale is 1:20?
Homework Equations
qr = qp/qm
The Attempt at a Solution
My attempt;
qm = 100 L/s per m = 0.1 m^3/s per m
Using the length scale ratio: Lr = Lp/Lm = 20/1 = 20
q = Q/b = VA/b = byV/b = yV
therefore, q = yV
hence, qr = yr Vr
yr = Lr which is 20
So how do I get Vr?
