Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Methods based on artificial intelligence, such as symbolic regression, are useful tools to find simple algebraic but accurate relations to simulate data from experiments that simulate flow through pipes during floods. In addition, special functions such as the Lambert W-function or its cognate the Wright ω-function can be used to develop powerful flow friction approximations. Thus, we can see that flow friction estimation includes interdisciplinary research, which includes not only mechanical, civil or petroleum engineering but also artificial intelligence, mathematics (asymptotic expansion of special functions, Padé approximants, Lagrange theorem, etc.) and statistics.

We welcome articles, review papers and short notes from academia and from practitioners from all scientific branches where the fluid flow can occur. Especially, the friction simulations of floods and submarine pipelines are welcome.

Numerous explicit approximations of the Colebrook equation have been developed and evaluated based on two criteria: prediction accuracy and computational efficiency. This paper introduces a new evaluation criterion based on the reliability of each equation. The reliability is defined by the coefficient of variation (CV) of the explicit friction factor that is a function of the variabilities of component random variables (roughness height of the internal pipe surface and kinematic viscosity of the fluid). The coefficient of variation of the friction factor depends on its first derivative for roughness height of the inner pipe surface and kinematic viscosity of the fluid and their correlation. Seven explicit approximations were evaluated using the new reliability-based criterion. The results show that all explicit approximations are very reliable, but variations exist regarding the reliability level. The reliabilities of the seven approximations is very close for the rough-flow regime and when the CV of the viscosity is minimal. However, for the smooth-flow regime, and when the CV of the roughness is minimal, various approximations showed substantially different reliabilities. The novelty of the proposed criterion is that it addresses an evaluation dimension that complements the accuracy and efficiency criteria. Full article
