Colebrook White some explicit formulations

Comparison of formulations for calculation of the friction factor of the Darcy-Weisbach eq

You are now following this Submission

31 methods to calculate the friction factor of the Darcy-Weisbach equation.
The turbulent range is calculated using the Colebrook-White formulation. Some explicit formulations are presented. Then these are compared to the friction factor obtained using the implicit Newton-Raphson calculation.

If you find a new formulation which is not included, please write to me and I'll include it.

Please rate and comment.

Thank you
