Hey,

Perhaps the simplist way to explore flow is to simply get the paths between 
source and sink and then calculate some function f over the path to determine 
its flow. For example:

        def f = { List path ->
                // some function over the path where every other element is an 
edge (see traversal below)
        }

        source.outE.inV.loop(2){it.object.equals(sink)}.paths.each{
                println(it + " has a flow of " + f(it))
        }

This assumes you have a determined source and a determined sink and that there 
are no cycles in your gas pipeline. If there are cycles, then you can tweak the 
expression to make sure you break out of the loop when appropriate.

Hope that provides you a good starting point.

Enjoy!,
