(Hg.): INFOCOMP 2019, The Ninth International Conference on Advanced Communications and Computation, Nice, France, July 28 - August 2, 2019 N2 - The paper presents the topological reduction method applied to gas transport networks, using contraction of series, parallel and tree-like subgraphs. The contraction operations are implemented for pipe elements, described by quadratic friction law. This allows significant reduction of the graphs and acceleration of solution procedure for stationary network problems. The algorithm has been tested on several realistic network examples. The possible extensions of the method to different friction laws and other elements are discussed.
