Pipe wall friction for laminar flow in circular tubes (linear correlation)
This component defines only the laminar region of wall friction: dp = k*m_flow, where "k" depends on density and dynamic viscosity. The roughness of the wall does not have an influence on the laminar flow and therefore argument roughness is ignored. Since this is a linear relationship, the occurring systems of equations are usually much simpler (e.g., either linear instead of non-linear). By using nominal values for density and dynamic viscosity, the systems of equations can still further be reduced.
In UsersGuide the complete friction regime is illustrated. This component describes only the Hagen-Poiseuille equation.
Extends from PartialWallFriction (Partial wall friction characteristic (base package of all wall friction characteristics)).
