The first term on the right-hand side of Eq. (25) represents the
effect of fluid cornpressibility on the wave speed and the second
given by Eqs. (2) and (3). Thus, the classical water hamtrer equations are valid for unidirectional and axisyrnrnetric florv of a copressible ffuid in a flexible pipe (tube), where the Mach number is
very s:all.
