Different variants for pressure drops due to pipe wall friction
This package provides functions to compute pressure losses due to wall friction in a pipe. Every correlation is defined by a package that is derived by inheritance from the package WallFriction.PartialWallFriction. The details of the underlying pipe wall friction model are described in the UsersGuide. Basically, different variants of the equation
dp = λ(Re,Δ)*(L/D)*ρ*v*|v|/2
are used, where the friction loss factor λ is shown in the next figure:
