Three different fluid model formulations have been recently developed for Gt/GI/N +GI queues, including a two-parameter fluid model in Whitt (2006) by tracking elapsed service and patience times of each customer, a measure-valued fluid model in Kang and Ramanan (2010) and its extension in Zuniga (2014) by tracking elapsed service and patience times of each customer, and a measure-valued fluid model in Zhang (2013) by tracking residual service and patience times of each customer. We show that, under general initial conditions, the first two fluid model formulations tracking elapsed times (Whitt’s and Kang and Ramanan’s fluidmodels) are equivalent and can be used to describe the same Gt/GI/N +GI queue when the service and patience time distributions have densities, whereas, Zuniga’s fluid model and Zhang’s fluid model are equivalent only when the initial conditions for the Gt/GI/N +GI queue satisfy certain assumptions. We identify these conditions under which Zuniga’s fluid model and Zhang’s fluid model can be derived from each other for the same system. The equivalence properties discovered provide important implications for the understanding of the recent development for non-Markovian many-server queues.
