Scale Models in Engineering: Fundamentals and Applications provides a simple and fundamental method of designing scale model experiments. This book is divided into two parts. Part I explores the background of scale modeling and explains the design procedure of scale models and experiments. The relaxation method commonly applied to conflicting requirements in model design is also analyzed. Part II is devoted to case studies selected from modern fields of model application. These studies have been interpreted uniformly. This publication is designed not only as a college textbook for senior and graduate levels but also as a working reference for practicing engineers.
