✦ Synopsis


This study concerns with the development of explicit expressions of friction factor for the flow of Bingham fluids in smooth pipes in both laminar and turbulent regimes by using a powerful analytical technique, i.e. Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and one of its variant namely restarted ADM (RADM). The results from these expressions match very well with those obtained by well-known correlations and are found to be valid for all practical ranges. It is hoped that the derived expressions will be useful for the researchers working in the area.
