The Darcy-Weisbach equation, combined with the Moody chart for calculating head losses in pipes, is traditionally attributed to Henry Darcy, Julius Weisbach, and Lewis Ferry Moody. However, the development of these formulas and charts also involved other scientists and engineers over its historical development. Generally, the Bernoulli's equation would provide the head losses but in terms of quantities not known a priori, such as pressure. Therefore, empirical relationships were sought to correlate the head loss with quantities like pipe diameter and fluid velocity.
