'branch channel' is correct and usable in written English.
You may use this term when referring to a channel or conduit that divides or branches off from the main stream or channel. For example, "The storm water runoff from the hills was diverted through a branch channel that connected to the river."
The saturated flow was approximately 4.9ped/s (1.5ped/m/s) and when the branch channel was 2.4 m, the main and branch channel became mutual bottlenecks to each other.
The endothelial cells are delivered to main channel and guided through branch channel to the assembly area by laser.
At inlet of slug flow, a significant proportion of gas was rich in the second branch channel at high inlet gas superficial velocity.
The unsteady RANS model was used to simulate the upstream and downstream regions of a main channel, as well as the downstream region of a branch channel.
A side rectangular weir is a flow diversion structure provided in the side wall of a channel to divert water from main channel to a branch channel.
Lane formation was found downstream in the main channel and the increasing amplitude of the lane width formed by the branch flow became weaker with the increasing width of the branch channel.
The micro channel includes the assembly area, main channel and branch channels.
The hydraulic diameters of the header and the branch channels were 0.611 mm and 0.438 mm, respectively.
It was indicated that the distribution characteristics of two-phase in branch channels highly depended on inlet flow patterns.
It was noticed that the added surfactant could facilitate the flow while higher surface tension of pure water led to the blockage of partial branch channels.
In this paper a finite-volume total variation diminishing (TVD) scheme is presented for modeling unsteady free surface flows caused by dam-breaks in branch channels.
