Abstract: The paper presents an explicit Lagrangian-Eulerian technique for simulating transient flows of natural gas in pipelines. The technique is implemented in the VOLNA code package which is used to simulate gas transport systems. Test calculations of stationary problems show the technique to attain second-order spatial convergence for smooth flows and provide acceptable accuracy in practical calculations.

Keywords: gas transport simulation, code package, natural gas, pipeline, Lagrangian–Eulerian technique.
