Interpolated full-range model

...


The most popular full-range model of Darcy friction factor is:

...

LaTeX Math Inline
body--uriencoded--f_%7BCW%7D(\mbox%7BRe%7D, \epsilon)

Colebrook–White correlation

LaTeX Math Inline
body--uriencoded--\displaystyle k = \frac%7B f_%7BCW%7D( \mbox%7BRe%7D =4,000, \, \epsilon) -0.03048%7D%7B1,900%7D

interpolation multiplier between laminar and turbulent flow regimes



Churchill full-range model

...


For many practical applications the Churchill correlation provides a fair (< 2 % accuracy and improving towards laminar flow) estimation of  Darcy friction factor
