Which hydraulic system instability results when a control valve's switching generates sudden pressure changes?

💡 Explanation

The water hammer effect occurs because rapid valve closure creates inertial pressure spikes (fluid momentum changes), therefore over-pressurizing vulnerable components, rather than gradual system settling via accumulators.
