In this chapter, a number of common terms related to hydraulic transients are defined, and a brief history of the developments in hydraulic transients is presented. The basic waterhammer equations relating the change in pressure due to an instantaneous change in flow velocity and an expression for the velocity of pressure waves in a pipe are derived. The propagation and reflection of waves in a pipeline are discussed, followed by different approaches for the analysis of hydraulic transients. The chapter concludes with brief information on a number of accidents and incidents caused by hydraulic transients.
