Introduction to Water Hammer Phenomenon in Pipeline : Fluid Mechanics (mechanical engineering)
A sudden change of flow rate in a large pipeline (caused by valve closure, pump shutoff, etc.) may affect a large mass of water moving inside the pipe. The force resulting from changing the speed of the water mass could cause a pressure rise in the pipe with a magnitude several times greater than the normal static pressure in the pipe. This phenomenon is commonly known as the water hammer phenomenon. The excessive pressure may fracture the pipe walls or cause other damage to the pipeline system. The possible occurrence of water hammer, its magnitude, and the propagation of the pressure wave must be carefully investigated in connection with the pipeline design...
