Strickler formula

This linear head loss law is parameterised by the Stricker coefficient \(K_S\).

The other law parameters are shared with all pressure loss formulas:

  • \(Q\) : flow (m3/s)
  • \(D\) : pipe diameter (m)
  • \(l_T\) : pipe length (m)
\[J_L=\frac{l_T.Q^2}{(K_S.\pi.D^2/4)^2.(D/4)^{4/3}}\]
