The investigation of transient flow conditions is
critical for the reliable design and safe operation of pipe systems in
hydraulic engineering. These dynamic events, which occur due to rapid changes
in flow velocity (e.g., fast valve closure), can induce severe pressure
fluctuations known as water hammer or hydraulic shock. A key
experimental focus is the empirical demonstration of this phenomenon, including
the precise determination of the wave propagation velocity of the
pressure transient through the fluid. Furthermore, the study includes an
analysis of mitigation devices, such as the surge chamber, by examining
its operational principle and characteristic natural frequency in counteracting
pressure surges.
