Distorted and Undistorted Models

What is meant by undistorted models?
An undistorted model is one that is geometrically similar to its prototype.


Demerits of a distorted model:
* Pressure and velocity distributions are not truly reproduced
* Difficult to extrapolate and interpolate results obtained from distorted models
* The observer experiences an unfavourable psychological effect
