Motivation
...
One of the key challenges in Pipe Flow Dynamics is to predict the along-hole pressure distribution during the stationary 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.
