'Water Hammer Simulations' is a comprehensive guide to modeling transients in closed pipes. The models presented range from those used for the first studies into the field to the most advanced available today.All of the models are described in detail, starting from the simplest to the most complex.

An accompanying CD contains executable files and source code for most of the models presented. The use of these programs is explained in the book where they are applied in a number of examples; the results are critically commented, to allow the reader to be able to build an appropriate model for their own use. Suggestions on the most appropriate model for a particular situation are provided throughout the book.

Laboratory tests and real case applications are also presented and discussed, together with the still unresolved problems in the field. The focus of researchers' efforts will be on these issues in the coming years.

The book is suitable for professionals working in the field as well as scholars and undergraduate students.
