Abstract
In this paper, a technique for simulation of the space-time flow parameters in branched channels under transient boundary conditions is presented. The technique is based on the solution of one-dimensional nonstationary equations of gas dynamics. We suggest the conditions of channel junction with regard for distinctive features of a fluid flow in the adjacent region and compare the data on the flow simulation in the channel with a lateral branch by using one-dimensional and three-dimensional models. Comparing the data obtained with the experimental results, we show that the technique being suggested adequately simulates the real processes in the branched channels.
