This example demonstrates a simple application for fluid dynamics in a straight\ \ cylindrical pipe.

\n\n<h2 id=\"law-of-hagen-poiseuille\">Law\ \ of Hagen-Poiseuille\n

The <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagen\u2013\ Poiseuille_equation\">law of Hagen-Poiseuille is a physical law that gives the\ \ pressure drop <span class=\"math inline\">\(\Delta p\) for an incompressible\ \ Newtonian fluid in the laminar regime flowing through a long cylindrical pipe\ \ of constant cross section. This geometric setup is depicted in figure <code class=\"\ interpreted-text\" role=\"numref\">fig-pouseille-setup.

The law states that

  • \\(\\Delta p\\) is the pressure drop\ \ (in Pascal)
