functionlaminarTurbulentPressureLoss
Pressure loss function (Cheng 2008) for laminar, transient and turbulent flow regimes
Extends from Internal.FlowResistance.partialPressureLoss.
Information
Pressure loss according to Darcy–Weisbach, for laminar, transient and turbulent flow.
In order to avoid a 0^0 for Re=0 (and therefore a = 1) in the computation of lambda_aux, we add epsilon=0.01 to Re to lower bound it in a smooth way.
ks_input defines the pipe roughness. It can be selected from a list of materials or given directly.
