Different pipe materials have different roughness coefficients, which affect the head loss in a pipe network. To account for this, you will need to use the appropriate roughness coefficient for the specific type of pipe material in the head loss equation. This coefficient can be found in engineer...

Wall roughness is a function of pipe material, method of manufacture, and the environment to which it has been exposed. From a microscopic sense, wall roughness is not uniform, and thus the distance from the peaks to valleys on the wall surface will vary greatly. The absolute roughness,ε,...

6. Roughness of pipe By increasing relative roughness of pipe, the cooling/heating efficiency increases but pumping power also increases. [135,136] 6.1 Pipe material Several materials such as plastic, aluminum, concrete, rough-cast iron and polyethylene can be used as EATHE pipes [39,108,109]...

I modified the loss coefficients and changed the roughness of the pipe wall to very smooth. But to no avail. The measured discharge significantly exceeded the calculated one. At some point, I asked the craftsmen whether they really had installed a 0.5 − inch pipe. "Yeah, sure", was ...
The present work draws on experimental pipe-soil interface shear strength data and uses Abaqus, a general-purpose finite element software, to study the possibility of improving pipeline design using engineered surface roughness. Abaqus is ideally suited to the problem as it allows for large sized mo...
