When the flow of water through fire hose or pipe is suddenly stopped, such as by suddenly closing a nozzle, a shock wave is produced when the moving water reaches the end of the hose and bounces back. The resulting pressure surge is referred to as water hammer. 4, record 1, English, - water%20hammer

Lorsque le débit d'eau dans un tuyau d'incendie ou une canalisation est arrêté brusquement, par exemple en fermant rapidement une lance d'incendie, une onde de choc se produit lorsque l'eau en mouvement atteint l'extrémité du tuyau et rebondit. La hausse soudaine de pression ainsi produite se nomme coup de bélier. 3, record 1, French, - coup%20de%20b%C3%A9lier

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
El cierre brusco de una tubería, el cortar la corriente, provoca un aumento instantáneo de la presión del agua. Esta zona de presión se propaga rápidamente (con la velocidad del sonido) en la tubería y puede hacerla estallar si tiene alguna junta o punto de menor resistencia. Este fenómeno, llamado golpe de ariete, reviste mucha importancia en las obras hidráulicas, especialmente en las presas hidroeléctricas. 4, record 1, Spanish, - golpe%20de%20ariete
