On the Blasius correlation for friction factors

Published 15 Jul 2010 in physics.flu-dyn | (1007.2466v1)

Abstract: The Blasius empirical correlation for turbulent pipe friction factors is derived from first principles and extended to non-Newtonian power law fluids. Two alternative formulations are obtained that both correlate well with the experimental measurements of Dodge, Bogue and Yoo. Key words: Blasius, turbulent friction factor, power law fluids
