Correlation of loss coeffient -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

Suping Guest Posts: n/a	Hello friends, I have a fluid mechanics question: A pressure drop vs flow rate is measured for air flow through a porous medium. This gives a relation DP=1/2density(air)C(air)*v^2, where C(air) is the loss coefficient. If the fluid is changed to water through the same porous medium, I am wondering if the above formulation for air can be used in some way for predicting the pressure drop (water) or the loss coefficient C(water). Please help. Thanks! Suping
