Thanks for the reply. The model is very basic, just a wooden shell. Dynamic pressure was not measured as the hardware we used does not take high frequency measurements. So it is all averages. Also not boss haha! It's for uni, my supervisor is what we call our allocated professor.

This, essentially, but of course assuming whatever liquid you happen to be using does in fact increase in volume linearly with temperature.

The Centigrade scale is not based on the expansion of water... water certainly doesn't increase linearly between its freezing point to its boiling point, and it actually shrinks going from 0 deg to about 4 deg. "At one time "the temperature" was defined arbitrarily by dividing the expansion of...

Hi physics peoples, [for the tl;dr peeps: is there any point plotting a force distribution when I already have a pressure distribution, aren't they essentially the same thing?] I've been doing wind tunnel experiments on structures for my final year engineering project, my supervisor (who I...

alright, cheers! how much do you guys think it would lower the freezing point by?

thanks for your reply! so you're saying the water would freeze? so we would have a compressed solid? or would the ice be a different form of ice? would it freeze at a colder temperature? is this even possible in the real world? wow that was a lot of questions haha.

If you did had a container that was strong enough to resist the expansive forces generated as the water in it freezes, what would happen? (assuming the container is filled completely with water) Thanks for any answers in advance, and I hope this post is in the correct place, if not, then sorry!
