To make everything clear I have written the answers that I have learnt very precisely in my handwriting and for more convinience ..I have typed them too...?
Here are the typed answers
The followings are the advantages of the dimensional and model
analysis:
1. The performance of the hydraulic structure or hydraulic machine
can be easily predicted, in advance,
from its model.
2. With the help of dimensional analysis, a relationship between
the variables influencing a flow probem
in terms of dimensionless parameters is obtained. This relationship
helps in conducting tests on the
model.
3. The merits of alternative designs can be predicted with the help
of model testing. The most economical
and safe design may be, finally, adopted.
4. The tests performed on the models can be utilized for obtaining,
in advance, useful information about
the performance of the prototypes only if a complete similarity
exists between the model and the
prototype
