This book provides a broad understanding of the main computational techniques used for water hammer research in water systems. The theoretical background to a number of techniques is introduced, and general data analysis techniques and examining the application of techniques in an industrial setting, including current practices and current research, are considered. The book also provides practical experience of commercially available systems and includes small-scale water systems related projects.

The book presents new research and development works that have potential for important applications in several disciplines of hydraulic and mechanical engineering, such as:

Water resources engineering, which is the quantitative study of the hydrologic cycle—the distribution and circulation of water linking the earth’s atmosphere, land and oceans.
Surface runoff, which is measured as the difference between precipitation and abstractions, such as infiltration (which replenishes groundwater flow), surface storage, and evaporation. Applications include the management of the urban water supply, the design of urban storm-sewer systems, and flood forecasting.
Hydraulic engineering, which consists of the application of fluid mechanics to water flowing in an isolated environment (pipe, pump) or in an open channel (river, lake, ocean). Civil engineers are primarily concerned with open channel flow, which is governed by the interdependent interaction between the water and the channel. Applications include the design of hydraulic structures, such as sewage conduits, dams and breakwaters, the management of waterways, such as erosion protection and flood protection, and environmental management, such as prediction of the mixing and transport of pollutants in surface water.
Hydroelectric-power development, water supply, irrigation and navigation, which are some familiar applications of water resources engineering involving the utilization of water for beneficial purposes. More recently, concern for preserving our natural environment and meeting the needs of developing countries has increased the importance of water resources engineering.

In the book various methods were developed to solve transient flow in pipes. This range includes the approximate equations to numerical solutions of the non-linear Navier–Stokes equations. The model was presented by method of the Eulerian based expressed in a method of characteristics “MOC”. It was defined by finite difference form for heterogeneous model with varying state in the system. The book offered “MOC” as a computational approach from theory to practice in numerical analysis modeling. Therefore it was presented as a computationally efficient method for transient flow irreversibility prediction in a practical case.

This book publishes significant research reporting new methodologies and important applications in prediction of water transmission failure as well as includes the latest coverage of chemical databases and the development of new computational methods and efficient algorithms for hydraulic software and mechanical engineering.
