The establishment of generalized chaotic synchronization in unidi-rectionally coupled spatially extended beam-plasma systems with supercritical current (the models of Pierce diode in the hydrody-namic approximation) was investigated by numerical simulation. To reveal the mechanisms of establishment of generalized synchronization, the modifled-system method was proposed. The efficiency of this method was verified by the example of coupled systems with a small number of degrees of freedom.
