Abstract

The Colebrook–White equation is often used for calculation of the friction factor in turbulent regimes; it has succeeded in attracting a great deal of attention from researchers. The Colebrook–White equation is a complex equation where the computation of the friction factor is not direct, and there is a need for trial–error methods or graphical solutions; on the other hand, several researchers have attempted to alter the Colebrook–White equation by explicit formulas with the hope of achieving zero-percent (0%) maximum deviation, among them Dejan Brkić and Pavel Praks. The goal of this paper is to discuss the results proposed by the authors in their paper:” Accurate and Efficient Explicit Approximations of the Colebrook Flow Friction Equation Based on the Wright ω-Function” and to propose more accurate formulas.
