EULER SYSTEM FOR COMPRESSIBLE FLUIDS AT A JUNCTION.

Consider n ducts having a common origin and filled with a fluid. Along each duct, the full Euler system describes the evolution of the fluid. At the junction, suitable physical conditions couple the n Euler systems. In this paper we prove the well posedness of the Cauchy problem for the model so obtained, provided the total varaiatio of the initial data is sufficiently small. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
