Abstract
Water hammer occurs in a pipe when water flow is suddenly stopped. There are pipes having the square or rectangular cross sectional shape rather than the circular shape: micro channel, gutter, and so on. Moreover, a part of the walls is often composed by different material or different wall thickness. To reveal pressure wave propagation in such a channel, we examined water hammer phenomenon and measured wave speeds in rectangular tubes with different wall materials and thicknesses. We newly proposed theoretical wave speeds based on the classical theory and the junction conditions of two walls: fixed, simply supported, and mixed. We confirmed that theoretical predictions agreed with experimental wave speeds.
