..., at least initially. Other simplifications that are properties are prescribed. recommended are to opt to use isothermal simulations, use rigid pipes, use a constant viscosity with an ideal gas (or For an Ideal Gas the density is simply liquid) equation of state. Each of these simplify the physics. = Mmp...

... and automatic procedure to derive such bottleneck models from full hydraulic models via symbolic simplification. Symbolic simplification combines computer algebra and numerical analysis to identify and extract dominant network components. The reduced model is again a hydraulic model with well interpretable...
