> Cp and Cb are not changed by scaling. They are non-dimensional

Hi Nick

I agree that if you change all equal then the Cp etc. stay the same but as you point out the WL must be in the same place!!

That is the problem.

With the Cp in particular as a indication of fullness the WL will not stay put if you scale all dimentions.... well you know the whole thing.

You work in Mac surf I think. Pity I use Nautilus (Dos)

Rob

By the way the book is super.. I will be getting a whole bunch for my students who have just become converted.!!
