Modeling of a turbulent flow in a cylindrical solid propellant 
charge channel having a circular recess (compensator) has been performed. 
Different variants of the compensator position and connection to the 
channel are discussed. The influence of the geometric and consumption 
factors on the formation of distributions of the gas-dynamic parameters 
and characteristics of turbulence in the working region has been investigated.
