Coupling conditions for gas networks governed by the isothermal Euler equations

We investigate coupling conditions for gas transport in networks where the governing equations are the isothermal Euler equations. We discuss intersections of pipes by considering solutions to Riemann problems. We introduce additional assumptions to obtain a solution near the intersection and we present numerical results for sample networks.
