Today’s objectives
§ Similarly to the smooth pipe case, turbulent flow in rough pipe will be understood.
§ Classifying the pipes whether they are smooth or rough
§ Evaluating pipe friction factors in the given condition
Seoul National University
§ Pipe friction in rough pipe will be governed by the size and patterns of the roughness (like as sediment particles)
§ As we learned through the last class, velocity profile follows logarith m no matter what flow is laminar or turbulent.
§ When roughness is high, the viscous layer will be canceled and visc osity may not be the important parameter.
§ Experiment proved that the viscosity can be replaced by the roughn ess in the rough wall condition.
§ In this condition Q (flow rate) can be determined as

§ The mean velocity in a 300 mm pipeline is 3m/s. The relative rough ness of the pipe is 0.002 and the kinematic viscosity of the water is 9 x 10-7 m2/s. Determine the friction factor, the centerline velocity, the v elocity 50 mm from the pipe wall, and the head lost in 300 m of this pipe under the assumption that the pipe is rough.
– Friction factor
– Centerline velocity
– The velocity at 50 mm from the wall – Head loss

§ What parameters do we need to compare to know whether flow is s mooth or rough?
§ To cancel this, we need to see the ratio between this and that.
– This is viscous sublayer thickness and roughness height
§ What is the viscous sublayer thickness in Laminar flow?
– Since viscosity governs overall depth in pipe, R should be the thickness.
– Therefore, in a Laminar flow, no matter what smooth or rough,
§ In turbulent flow,
