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