Gas flow in pipeline networks

Abstract
We introduce a model for gas flow in pipeline networks based on the isothermal Euler equations. We model the intersection of multiple pipes by posing an additional assumption on the pressure at the interface. We give a method to obtain solutions to the gas network problem and present numerical results for sample networks.
