Motivation
...
One of the key challenges in Pipe Flow Dynamics is to predict the pressure distribution along the pipe during the steady-state fluid transport.
...
Pipeline Flow Pressure Model is addressing this problem with account of the varying pipeline trajectory, gravity effects and fluid friction with pipeline walls.
