We analyze nonequilibrium electronic transport properties of a typical interacting three-site quantum wire model within Hartree-Fock approximation making use of Keldysh formalism. Some rigorous formulas are provided for direct calculations when Coulomb repulsion is present. According to numerical calculations using above formulas, we investigate the conductance, transport currents, and on site electronic charges of the wire on some special occasions in the interacting case, and also compare them with the results in the noninteracting case.
