Information
This information is part of the Modelica Standard Library maintained by the Modelica Association.
This component defines the quadratic turbulent regime of wall friction: dp = k*m_flow*|m_flow|, where "k" depends on density and the roughness of the pipe and is no longer a function of the Reynolds number. This relationship is only valid for large Reynolds numbers. At Re=4000, a polynomial is constructed that approaches the constant λ (for large Reynolds-numbers) at Re=4000 smoothly and has a derivative at zero mass flow rate that is identical to laminar wall friction.
