One-Log Call Iterative Solution of the Colebrook Equation for Flow Friction Based on Padé Polynomials

One-Log Call Iterative Solution of the Colebrook Equation for Flow Friction Based on Padé Polynomials

The 80 year-old empirical Colebrook function ξ, widely used as an informal standard for hydraulic resistance, relates implicitly the unknown flow friction factor λ, with the known Reynolds number Re and the known relative roughness of a pipe inner surface ε*; &lambd...
