Abstract
This section covers the fundamentals of similarity, scaling, and the problems involved when models are used to predict full size machine performance. The fundamental hydrodynamic principles leading to Euler’s equation are introduced and applied to incompressible and compressible machines, and the problems associated with their use are discussed.
