About the course

This course helps you develop your essential engineering judgment about Water Hammer phenomena in industrial piping systems. The focus of the course goes beyond explaining the underlying theory of Water Hammer to show how the characteristics of Water Hammer are determined based on real-life situations.

Topics include the Principles of Water Hammer, Instant Valve Closing, Unbalanced Loads, and the application of the Joukowsky and Michaud Equations. The course also covers Non-instantaneous Flow Variations, Wave Speed in Pipes, and the effects of different Valve Types and Closure Curves. Practical cases based on real-life situations including Water Hammer in Jetty Lines, Pump Curves, and system responses to equipment like pump trips, will be explored to provide a thorough understanding of the complex dynamics of Water Hammer.
