friction_colebrook: Colebrook–White equation (Darcy friction factor formula)

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

View source: R/friction_colebrook.R

Description

The phenomenological Colebrook–White equation (or Colebrook equation) expresses the Darcy friction factor f as a function of Reynolds number Re and pipe relative roughness, fitting the data of experimental studies of turbulent flow in smooth and rough pipes. The equation can be used to (iteratively) solve for the Darcy–Weisbach friction factor f. See more about the Colebrook–White equation at the Colebrook–White equation
