Fanning friction factor

Fanning friction factor is proportional to shear stress at pipe/conduit wall as number of velocity heads and is used in momentum transfer in general and turbulent flow calculations in particular. It is equivalent to (1/4) the Darcy friction factor. It is normally defined in one of the following forms :
