Mathematical adjustments are needed to account for scale effects that result from differences in force ratios. So how can we use measurements from physical models to guide hydraulic designs? Join us for a guided tour of the world's largest physical hydraulic model in the USA; learn the principles of Froude scaling with Danish Minifigures; and find out when computer models benefit from calibration to some innovative physical models constructed in Australian lab facilities.
