Methodology for Determining the Propagation Speed of the Hydraulic Shock in the Pipes

摘要

The hydraulic shock is a very wide spread phenomenon and it is difficult to combat. The paper presents the way of propagation speed determination of the hydraulic shock in the case of gases. The phenomenon is considered to be adiabatic and we can find out the propagation speed of the excess pressure wave, in the case of the pipe with a variable section on length. The dependence between the pipe section and the propagation speed of a ram's thrust is represented graphically.
