This is the classic Poisson equation and is exactly equivalent to the
torsional stress problem in elasticity

Engineering Conditions:
The velocity cannot be infinite at the centerline.
On engineering grounds, the logarithm term must be rejected and
set C1 = 0.

Friction Factor
w is proportional to mean velocity.
It is customary, to nondimensionalize wall shear with the
pipe dynamic pressure.
