On the impacts of flow reversals in the optimal design and operation of pipeline networks

The transportation of fluid products across extensive supply chains is usually made by pipelines. Large investment costs in pipelines are only justified if they operate steadily at high utilization levels over long periods of time. That is why building efficient pipeline networks has become a challe...

description The transportation of fluid products across extensive supply chains is usually made by pipelines. Large investment costs in pipelines are only justified if they operate steadily at high utilization levels over long periods of time.
