We consider model adaptivity for gas flow in pipeline networks. For each instant in time and for each pipe in the network a model for the gas flow is to be selected from a hierarchy of models in order to maximize a performance index that balances model accuracy and computational cost for a simulation of the entire network. This combinatorial problem involving partial differential equations is posed as an optimal switching control problem for abstract semilinear evolutions. We provide a theoretical and numerical framework for solving this problem using a two stage gradient descent approach based on switching time and mode insertion gradients. A numerical study demonstrates the practicability of the approach.

Snapshot of the fully simulated solution showing density (solid, blue) and flux (dashed, red, scaled by $0.05$). On the outer pipes 1 to 5 we see a lot of fluctuation due to the oscillatory boundary flows. The pipes 6 to 9 of the inner circle, however, remain nearly constant
(A): resulting optimized switching sequence showing, for each time step from $t_0 = 0\ \text{s}$ to $T = 1800\ \text{s}$ and each edge $e_1, \ldots, e_{10}$, if the solution is calculated with the fine model (white) or frozen (black). (B), (C): filtered results with two different filters. (D): $L^2$-error relative to maximum values of the solution $\bar{z}$ corresponding to freezing edges $6$ to $10$ completely
