Notes
- 1.
If an initially uniform flow enters a duct, the boundary layer begins to thicken, just as on a flat plate.Eventually, it meets itself at the centerline.After that, the velocity profile no longer depends on the distance down the duct, but only on the radius from the centerline. Thus it is called fully-developed.

This is a simplified Moody Chart, named after L.F. Moody, who published a more elaborate chart in 1944.
