Explicit representation of the implicit Colebrook–White equation
It is shown that the Colebrook–White equation 1/λ=−2lg[2.51/Reλ+ϵ/3.71D] can be solved analytically for the friction factor λ. The solution contains two infinite sums. For given Reynolds numbers Re and relative roughnesses ϵ/D, one can create an own approximation with the required accuracy by adding...
