A note on the Moody diagram

Fluid Dynamics 2023-08-22 v1

Abstract

In this work we propose an alternate scaling for the head loss in the steady flow of Newtonian fluids through tubes. The characteristics of the proposed scaling render more clear the role of inertia in this flow and ensure that the trends of the relationship between dimensionless quantities are the same ones observed in the dimensional problem.
