As a basic problem, we consider the case corresponding to strong variation of the viscosity and density in a cylinder of small radius. An equation for the main term of the asymptotics is obtained. As for a graph structure, coupling conditions are assumed at the graph vertices.</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>stokes flow</kwd><kwd>metric graph</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This work was partially financially supported by the Government of the Russian Federation (grant 08-08), by grant 16-11-10330 of Russian Science Foundation.
