Title: Using steady-state equations for transient flow calculation in natural gas pipelines

Journal Article · · Oil Gas J.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5681369

Maddox and Zhou have extended their technique for calculating the unsteady-state behavior of straight gas pipelines to complex pipeline systems and networks. After developing the steady-state flow rate and pressure profile for each pipe in the network, analysts can perform the transient-state analysis in the real-time step-wise manner described for this technique.
