Water Hammer and The Method of Characteristics: DV P DZ F G V A V DT X DX D VDP X DT by Ashutosh Rathi is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A well-known IEEE paper describes how travelling-wave effects in the water passages can be simulated. The Method of Characteristics converts the partial differential equation into a ordinary differential equations whose validity is constrained to a set of characteristic curves. A typical water hammer problem turns out to be a pressure wave travelling back and forth along the conduit.
