GASMAN's
gathering system allows complex multi-pipeline networks to be
simulated. Various pressure loss correlations may be applied,
such as friction-factor and Weymouth. Allowance is made for sink
temperatures (sea, ground or air) and pipeline surface roughness
as well as elevation changes.
Key fluid properties in each pipeline segment are obtained from
equations of state - representing changes caused by pressure and
temperature changes through the pipeline.
Compositional calculations are made at each node and pipeline
junction, making the requisite changes when streams of differing
compositions are commingled.
