(1) {\rm Re} = \frac{u(l) \cdot d}{\nu(l)} = \frac{4 \rho_s q_s}{\pi d} \frac{1}{\mu(T, p)}


\displaystyle {\rm Re} = \frac{u(l) \cdot d}{\nu(l)} = \frac{4 \rho_s q_s}{\pi d} \frac{1}{\mu(T, p)}



The along-hole variation of Darcy friction factor  f is usually not exceeding 2-3 %  and in many practical applications can be considered as constant along hole  f = f_s = \rm const

The absolute value is staying between  f = 0.04 for the very small flow rates (< 100 cmd) and  f = 0.015 for the very high flow rates  (> 1,000 cmd).
