The ratio of inertial to viscous forces is the Reynolds number. These K-values may be used to determine the pressure loss from a fluid flowing through these entrances and exits. This article provides K-values for pipe entrances and exits of various geometries. Please see our Guide for Authors for information on article submission. Whether a flow is laminar or turbulent depends of the relative importance of fluid friction (viscosity) and flow inertia. When a fluid moves from a tank or vessel into a pipe system or vice versa there are pressure losses. The Journal occasionally will supplement its regular issues with special theme issues.

PIPENET VS FLUID FLOW SOFTWARE
Three modules (Standard Module, Spray/Sprinkler Module, Transient Module) ensure that, no matter how complex your network, PIPENET software will perform flow simulation fast and accurately.It is the leader in this category. The Journal especially seeks to publish high-quality original contributions that focus on interdisciplinary applications, including but not limited to micro/nano-scale systems medical and biological systems fluid-structure interaction and thermal and flow control in both the internal and external environment. PIPENET is used for the rapid fluid flow analysis of pipe and duct networks. Papers are welcomed that report the uses of these disciplines to engineering design and development.
Aims & Scope The International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow publishes high impact research that primarily expands upon the interplay between fluid dynamic processes and convective heat transfer through the use of experiments and/or computer simulations, with an emphasis on the physics associated with the problem considered.
