Offshore oil exploration platform is expected to encounter current of 3 m/s wave height 4 m and periods 15 seconds. A 1 in 20 scale modes is to be build and tested in hydraulic laboratory to determine the forces on the full scale structure.

(1) Explain and justify how you would scale the flow, determind current speed, wave height, wave period required for model.

(2) Force of magnitude 2.0 N is measured on an element of the modes, what would be the magnitude of coresponding forces on the full - scale strucutre.
