About Water Hammer Simulation
Water Hammer Simulation calculates pressure, hydraulic head and velocity over time for a simple configuration using different numerical methods. It can compare simulation error with theoretical values at the valve and calculate maximum water height in a surge tank.
The application exports results as tables and produces an animation showing pressure changes at the valve. Its interface is available in English and French.
