Similitude and modeling serve as a validation framework for analytical or computational flow solutions. The speaker explains that obtaining a result is not enough; experiments are needed to assess whether the results are valid.
Conditions: Used when assessing validity of analytical or computational solutions; Experimental confirmation is required; Results need only be similar, not identical

A scaled-down model is used because direct full-scale testing is impractical or too costly. The speaker gives an example of an airplane company wanting to study a large-scale wing.
Conditions: Full-scale testing is impractical or too costly; A smaller representative model can be tested experimentally; Information from the model must be mapped back to the real case
