Abstract: Pipe-friction creates two separate problems. Numerically a linear implicit finite-difference approximation for the Darcy-Weisbach term is shown to be the best of a number available. Physically, though some progress has been made, there is as yet no fully satisfactory explanation of dissipation which reproduces all experimental features of waterhammer damping.
