It is reviewes the theory involved in multicommodity-flow problems and it is analyzed several aspects concerning the optimal routing of pipelines in naval design motivated by a recent collaboration with a leading Naval Engineering company. We start by considerering branch-and-cut algorithm which is a important tool to implement some desired...

This paper deals with the determination of optimal locations for pipelines and cable trays in naval design. The problem consists of finding the number and types of cable tray routes to be created between various devices in order to minimize a user defined cost function. We reduce the problem to an ad hoc min-cost multicommodity flow problem...
