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

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

View source: R/hydrailic_functions.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 ε/Dh, 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. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy_friction_factor_formulae#Colebrook
