Quantitative dimensionless measure  f of the friction forces between fluid pipe flow and inner pipe walls based on Darcy–Weisbach equation.


It depends on Reynolds number  \rm Re and roughness  \epsilon  (see Fig. 1): f =f({\rm Re}, \, \epsilon).

Fig. 1. Schematic chart showing how Darcy friction factor depends on Reynolds number  \rm Re and roughness  \epsilon (following [1])


In engineering practice one can use either Moody Chart or Darcy friction factor @model to estimate the actual value of Darcy friction factor .
