Principle of similitude
ID: principle-of-similitude
The Principle of Similitude is a concept primarily used in engineering and fluid mechanics, which deals with the relationship between model systems and their real-world counterparts. This principle allows engineers and scientists to create scaled-down versions (models) of physical systems to study their behavior, performance, or properties without the need for full-scale experiments, which can be costly or impractical.
