Abstract: We define sink marks for branched complexes and find conditions for them to determine a branched surface structure. These will be used to construct branched surfaces in knot and tangle complements. We will extend Delman's theorem and prove that a Montesinos knot of length at least 3 has a persistently laminar branched surface unless it is equivalent to for some positive integers . In most cases these branched surfaces are genuine, in which case admits no atoroidal Seifert fibered surgery. It will also be shown that there are many persistently laminar tangles.
