Citing the underlying methods

The hydraulic methods implemented in GLN Analysis are documented in the engineering literature rather than being proprietary to this software. When a specific method is central to your own work, the Darcy-Weisbach formulation of distributed losses, the Colebrook-White friction factor and its explicit approximations, the loss-coefficient treatment of fittings, or the correlations used for the thermo-physical properties of antifreeze solutions, please cite the corresponding source listed in the References section at the end of this manual.
