Effective characteristics, such as the effective particle diameter and hydraulic radius, are usually used to determine the pressure loss associated with single-phase flow through an isotropic, dense non-spherical granular packing. These quantities can be considered as those of an equivalent spherical particle system. This paper reviews different methods to select effective particle diameters taking...
