Abstract

A contribution of a feed drive in the total counter-current flow in a gas centrifuge for isotope separation is an important problem in optimization of its separation performance. A 3D model is used to simulate flow structures of a feed jet in a rotating flow-field. By using a CFD code, the details of a feed jet are obtained under the axial feed jet boundary condition. It is demonstrated that because of the vacuum regime in the region near the axis of rotation, the results of numerical simulation of a CFD code bring errors. The 3D DSMC simulation is a feasible method to overcome this problem in the future.
