Description: A FORTRAN CODE has been developed which predicts pressures and flow rates in a      piping network for the regimes of laminar, transition, and turbulent flow. A novel and      effective scheme for modeling the transition region between laminar and turbulent flow is      demonstrated. A proposed linear indicator for the deviation from laminar behavior is      introduced into the analysis in order to facilitate the computational task. Although the      turbulent flow problem is inherently nonlinear, the method of analysis described herein,      typically employed with linear electrical networks, is found to converge rapidly to an      approximate solution without user-specified a priori guesses.
