    All important hydraulic structures are now designed and built after certain prcliminary model studies have been completed. Such studies may be conducted for anyone or more of the following purposes:

    1. the determination of the discharge coefficient ofa large measurement structure, such as an overflow spillway or a weir;

    10.2 Principles of Hydraulic SimilitudeSimiladty between hydraulic models and prototypes may be achieved in three bsr,forms:

    1 geometricsimilarity,2. kinematic similarity,3. dynamic similarity.

    Geometrc simLarity implies similarity of form. The model is a geomcrr lreduction of the prototype and is accomplished by maintaining a fixed ratio fbr rllhomologous lengths between the model and the prototype.

    The physical quantities involved in geometric similarity are length , area,,.l.and volume, Vol. To keep the homologous lengths in the prototype and the modcl :rconstant ratio, they can be expressed as

    lhus, the coi'responding discharge in the prototype is

    Q, = 125Q,, = 125 0.2 = 25 mr/sec

    Knematic simllrry implies similarity in motion. Kinematic similarity betweenI model and the prototype is attained if the homologous moving particles have thesirme velocity ratio along geometrically similar paths. The kinematic similarityirvolves the scale of time as well as length. The ratio of times required for homologousl)ilrticles to trayel homologous distances in a model and its prototype is

    ln the case of suface vessels moving through water or the propagation of shallowwater waves in open channels, both gravity and viscous forces may be impoftant.

    h.rosit require movable bcd models. A movable channel bed consists of sand or otherl,xr\c rlrterial that can be moved in response to the forces ofthe culTent at the channellr,.ri. Nolmally, it is impractical to scale the bed material down to the modet scale. A\ , r lic l scale distortion is usually employed on a movable bed model in order to pro-\ r([. ir sufficient tractive force to induce bed material movement. Quantitative simi-lrily is difficult to attain in movable bed models. For any sedimentation studiesi.rlormed, it is impodant that the movable bed model be quantitatively verilied by aIrrl]er of field measurements.

Dimensional analysis is found particularlylr,.lpiul in hydraulic model studies because it provides indicatiotls ttl those Iactorsillrich have significrnt influence on the phcnomenon; thus it guides the direction inr lrich the experimental work should be conducted.

    The steps in dimensional analysis can bc demonstrated by examining a simplellow phcnomenon such as the drag force exerted on a sphere as it moYes through a vis-(oushuid. Our geueral understanding of the phenomenon is that the cirag filrce isrclated to the size of the sphere, D; the velocity of the sphere, y, the viscosity of theIluid, pi and the fluid density, p. Thus, wc may express the drag force as a function of/), Y, p and p, or we maY write:

    The lext step is to determine the two dimensionless z-groups by lrrangilit irllfive dimensional parameters into them:

    The values of the exponents are determined by noting that the z groups are clinrt.Isionless, and they can be replaced by /101.

    Because most hydraulic studies involve cenain common dimensionless gr.orrr,such as the Reynolds number, the Froude number, or the Weber number, as discusst.,Iin the previous sections in this chapter, one should always be on the look out for thL.rrin performing the dimensional analysis. To determine the lI1-group, we may thr,write:

    forM:0=a+bfor L: 0 = -3a - b + c + dforT:0=-b-d

    There are four unknowns in the three conditions given. We can always solve for thr.t lof them in terms of the fourth, say . We have:

    Despite their apparent similarity, the tetm lzyrlroft.rgy should not be confused with theterm hltdrauLics. As stated in Chapter l, hydraulics is a branch oI cngineering thatapplies fluid mechanics principles to problems dcaling with thc coileclion, storage,control, tlansport, regulation, measurcmelt, and use of watel. In contrast, hydrologyis a science dealing with the properties, distribution, and circulation of the earth'swater. Thus, hydrology generally refers to natural processes, whereas hydraulics gen-crally refers to man made or man-controlled processes.

    Even though hydrology and hydraulics represent distinct disciplines, they areinexorably linked in engineering practice. Many hydruulic projects require a hydrologic study to establishthe designflow rae (O). Indeed, the design flow rate is criticalin establishing the appropriate size and design of many hydraulic structures. Forexainple, rainfall events result in water t'lowing over land to natural or man-madechannels. The design of storm sewers, drainage channels, levees, and dams is predi-cated on establishing an appropriate design flow rate fbr these structures.
