On turbulent friction in straight ducts with complex cross section: the wall law and the hydraulic diameter [PDF]
, 2018 We develop predictive formulas for friction resistance in ducts with complex cross-sectional shape based on the use of the log law and neglect of wall shear stress nonuniformities. The traditional hydraulic diameter naturally emerges from the analysis as the controlling length scale for common duct shapes as triangles and regular polygons. The analysis
