Bock, Hans Georg (ed.) et al., Modeling, simulation and optimization of complex processes. Proceedings of the international conference on high performance scientific computing, March 10–14, 2003, Hanoi, Vietnam. Berlin: Springer (ISBN 3-540-23027-0/pbk). 139-148 (2005).
Summary: The operative planning problem in natural gas distribution networks is addressed. An optimization model focusing on the governing PDE and other nonlinear aspects is presented together with a suitable discretization for transient optimization in large networks by SQP methods. Computational results for a range of related dynamic test problems demonstrate the viability of the approach.
