Error Analysis and Model Adaptivity for Flows in Gas Networks

In the simulation and optimization of natural gas flow in a pipeline network, a hierarchy of models is used that employs different formulations of the Euler equations.While the optimization is performed on piecewise linear models, the flow simulation is based here on the one to three dimensional Euler equations including the temperature distributio
