Motivation
...
One of the key challenges in Pipe Flow Dynamics is to predict the along-hole the pressure distribution along the pipe during the stationary steady-state fluid transport.The
In many practical cases the stationary pressure distribution can be approximated by Isothermal or Quasi-isothermal homogenous fluid flow model.
Pipeline Flow Pressure Model is addressing this problem with account of the varying pipeline trajectory, gravity effects and fluid friction with pipeline walls.
