GP Vaguely proud of myself today that I knew that pipe diameter increase increases flow in (I hope I say this mathematically correctly) a non-linear, more-geometric fashion. Basically, doubling the pipe diameter waaaaaaay more than doubles the potential volume throughput.

GP You are such an polymath, brilliant nerd, Morlock. Love it. Deep respect.

GorT: Fluid dynamics! I never took it - had a bunch of friends in college who loved that stuff. Wondering why GP is interested in increasing pipe diameters.pic.twitter.com/TWQXAQbTVm

I think we're best to simply leave GP at the edge of an open pit and vacate the area with all due haste.

Yep, because drag would be a result of increased surface area due to crud inside the pipe (more SA, more drag) which reduces the flow you're increasing w/ incr. r. Also consider the viscosity of the fluid moving through the pipe, and you've got lots of fun food for thought!
