	  abstract     = {A reduced order modeling approach for natural
gas transient flow in pipelines is presented. The Euler
equations are considered as the governing equations and
solved numerically using the implicit Steger-Warming flux
vector splitting method. Next, the linearized form of the
equations is derived and the corresponding eigensystem is
obtained. Then, a few dominant flow eigenmodes are used to
construct an efficient reduced-order model. A well-known test
case is presented to demonstrate the accuracy and the
computational efficiency of the proposed method. The results
obtained are in good agreement with those of the direct
numerical method and field data. Moreover, it is shown that
the present reduced-order model is more efficient than the
conventional numerical techniques for transient flow analysis
of natural gas in pipelines.},
