Hydraulic Diameter
fullflow.HydraulicDiameter
Hydraulic diameter from flow area and wetted perimeter.
HydraulicDiameter computes hydraulic diameter from cross-sectional flow area and wetted perimeter. The result is commonly used as the characteristic diameter for Reynolds number, Nusselt number, and duct-flow correlations.
