Abstract
We model the flow of a fluid in a pipe by a first-order nonlinear hyperbolic system with zero-order nonlinear dissipation. We prove that a unique, global smooth solution exists if the initial data are in an appropriate invariant region and if the first derivatives of the initial data are sufficiently small.
