3.2.5 cw_goudar_sonnad1 - Goudar-Sonnad (2006) friction factor
f = cw_goudar_sonnad1(d,e,re)

Calculate the Goudar-Sonnad approximation of the Colebrook-White equation.

Arguments

d

Pipe internal diameter (m  ).

e

Pipe effective roughness ε .

re

Reynolds number

Returns Darcy friction factor f , dimensionless.

Possible Errors

Goudar-Sonnad-1 diameter is <= 0

The given internal diameter of the pipe must be above zero.
