Abstract
The hydraulic systems that distribute water to users have an important role in their quality of life. For this reason, the precise determination of the friction factor in pipes is of great importance in the design of water distribution networks because it directly influences the [...]
Abstract
In this reply, we present updated approximations to the Colebrook equation for flow friction. The equations are equally computational simple, but with increased accuracy thanks to the optimization procedure, which was proposed by the discusser, Dr. Majid Niazkar. Our large-scale [...]
Abstract
The Colebrook equation is a popular model for estimating friction loss coefficients in water and gas pipes. The model is implicit in the unknown flow friction factor, f . To date, the captured flow friction factor, f , can be extracted from the logarithmic form analytically only [...]
