functionCubicInterpolation_Re

Cubic Hermite spline interpolation of the Reynolds number in transition regime of the Moody diagram (inverse formulation)

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Function (Icon for functions).

Information

Syntax

Re = CubicInterpolation_Re(0, Re1, Re2, Delta, lambda2);

Description

Function CubicInterpolation_Re(..) approximates the Reynolds number Re in the transition regime between laminar and turbulent flow of the Moody diagram by an inverse formulation of a cubic Hermite spline interpolation. See Modelica.Fluid.UsersGuide.ComponentDefinition.WallFriction (especially Region 2) for a detailed explanation.
