What are scale effects due to with regards to F?
reduced flow velocity
What are scale effects due to in R?
larger viscous losses in model
What are scale effects due to in W?
Too large air bubbles and faster air detrainment
Wave celerit of short wave is affected
Reduced discharge for small water depths
What are scale effects due to in C?
structure interacting with water behaves too stiff and strong.
Water and air are too hard in the model
What are scale effects due to in E?
Cavitation can not be observed in model if atmospheric pressure is not scaled
