TY - INPR A1 - Wintergerst, David A1 - Gugat, Martin T1 - Finite Time Blow-up of Traveling Wave Solutions for the Flow of Real Gas through Pipeline Networks N2 - In the context of gas transportation, analytical solutions are essential for the understanding of the underlying dynamics described by a system of partial differential equations. We derive traveling wave solutions for the 1-d isothermal Euler equations. A non-constant compressibility factor is used to describe the correlation between density and pressure. The blow-up of the traveling wave solution in � finite time is proven. We then extend our analysis to networks under appropriate coupling conditions and derive compatibility conditions to fulfill these coupling conditions.
