Question

The parking lot of a shopping center is square of sides a, delimited by sills of height h, and the entrance to the parking lot is width c. During the last rain it was flooded, and the only escape route was entrance c. To avoid future flooding, it is necessary to determine the time t in which the water takes to evacuate from the enclosure. For the effect, a 1: 100 scale model is used and it is observed that this time depends on all the parking distances, on gravity, the viscosity and density of the rainwater. Determine the dimensionless numbers involved in the problem; ii) if the model takes 8 minutes to drain the water, how long must the barrier be closed for vehicles to enter the parking lot again?

Answer 1

For solving last part of the question we have to take certain assumptions. Please forgive me for any spelling mistake and do comment for any short of queries.
