Transient (Civil Engineering)

From Handwiki

In civil engineering, a transient is a short-lived pressure wave. A common example is water hammer.

Transients are often misunderstood and not accounted for in the design of water distribution systems, thus contributing to hydraulic element failures, such as pipe breaks and pump/valve failures.
