Reflection Of Pressure Waves

Reflection of Pressure Waves is a physical phenomenon in fluid dynamics wherein a propagating pressure wave, upon encountering a discontinuity or boundary in a piping system, is partially or fully returned in the opposite direction due to impedance mismatches, thereby altering the transient pressure and flow conditions within the system.
