Overview

The Colebrook equation is the standard method for calculating the Darcy friction factor in turbulent pipe flow. It accounts for both the Reynolds number and pipe surface roughness.

Variables

Symbol	Description	Unit
$f$	Darcy friction factor	—
$\varepsilon$	Pipe roughness	m
$D$	Pipe diameter	m
$Re$	Reynolds number	—

Formula

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{f}} = -2 \log_{10}\left(\frac{\varepsilon/D}{3.7} + \frac{2.51}{Re \sqrt{f}}\right)$
