The hydrodynamic and micro-model models have many similarities. However, as described in the explanation of hydrodynamic models, in a replica to be able to express some processes or events, observance of scale and proportion can be ignored. But the purpose of making a micro-model is to extract physical, chemical or biological parameters for use on a larger scale. Therefore, it is not possible to change the proportions of dimensions, and the reduced model should be narrowed down based on certain criteria. The physical models commonly used for hydraulic water studies are the larger scale of the micro-model.

These micro-models have the potential of educational and educational assistance in schools, universities and research centers.

They can also be used at the entrance of refineries, dams, power stations and other structures, in order to provide visually understandable information to the visitors and to train the exploiters.
