The formulation of the Junction Riemann Problem (JRP) under subsonic conditions in 1D flow is clearly defined and solved by current methods, but they fail when sonic or supersonic conditions appear. Formulations coupling the 1D model for the vessels or pipes with other container-like formulations for junctions have been presented, requiring extra information such as assumed bulk mechanical properties and geometrical properties or the extension to more dimensions. To the best of our knowledge, in this work, the JRP is solved for the first time allowing solutions for all types of transitions and for any number of vessels, without requiring the definition of any extra information. The resulting JRP solver is theoretically well-founded, robust and simple, and returns the evolving state for the conserved variables in all vessels, allowing the use of any numerical method in the resolution of the inner cells used for the space-discretization of the vessels. The methodology of the proposed solver is presented in detail. The JRP solver is directly applicable if energy losses at the junctions are defined. Straightforward extension to other 1D hyperbolic flows can be performed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym13091658","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,8]],"date-time":"2021-09-08T21:28:45Z","timestamp":1631136525000},"page":"1658","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["A Solution of the Junction Riemann Problem for 1D Hyperbolic Balance Laws in Networks including Supersonic Flow Conditions on Elastic Collapsible Tubes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1386-5543","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Javier","family":"Murillo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n en Ingenier\u00eda de Arag\u00f3n (I3A), Universidad de Zaragoza, Mariano Esquillor s\/n, 50018 Zaragoza, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pilar","family":"Garc\u00eda-Navarro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n en Ingenier\u00eda de Arag\u00f3n (I3A), Universidad de Zaragoza, Mariano Esquillor s\/n, 50018 Zaragoza, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"190","article-title":"A numerical method for junctions in networks of shallow-water channels","volume":"337","author":"Bellamoli","year":"2018","journal-title":"Appl.
