Similitude involved in Model Analysis

List the similitude involved in the model analysis.

* Geometric similarity
* Kinematic similarity
* Dynamic similarity

For the prototype and model to be geometrically similar, the ratio of all corresponding linear dimensions in the model and the prototype should be equal.

Kinematic similarity refers to the similarity of motion between model and prototype.

Dynamic similarity corresponds to the similarity of forces between model and prototype.
