Time series of the flow rate (Q) ratios for the outlets in simulations with different \(\gamma _{RC}\) but the same \(\gamma _R\). The results are obtained from the simulations on the fine grid of the five-outlets domain using (a) \(\gamma _{RC} = 0.125\) and (b) \(\gamma _{RC} = 8\) with the same \(\gamma _R = 4\). The outlet 4 is used as the reference when computing the ratios. We observe a longer transient period and stronger fluctuations in (b) than (a).
