Impulse

## What is Impulse?

Impulse is a dynamic simulation and analysis software for calculating pressure surge transients in liquid piping systems caused by waterhammer. The software combines a transient solver based on the Method of Characteristics with a built-in steady-state solver that initializes waterhammer transient conditions. Impulse models system components including pumps with inertial characteristics, control valves, relief valves, and surge suppression devices like gas accumulators and surge tanks. The program calculates transient unbalanced forces, identifies pressure extremes, and helps determine appropriate surge equipment sizing and placement. Visualization features allow engineers to animate waterhammer events and create customizable graphs of system parameters.
