Abstract: In this article, the authors comments on the article "Scale effects in physical hydraulic engineering models," by Valentin Heller, published in a 2011 issue of the "Journal of Hydraulic Research." It is commented that in the Heller's article, the air transport in models is affected by scale effects because the internal flow turbulence is underestimated, while surface tension is overestimated.
