In this paper, data flows from different nodes in the packet network of data transmission are simulated as immiscible continuum flows. Conceptual and mathematical models are proposed. Computer simulation has been performed and compared with the ns-2 system of packet-level simulation. The developed model demonstrated fairly good accuracy, requiring at the same time much lower consumption of computing resources.
