Abstract
The secondary flow of an incompressible liquid in a continuous process, vertical tubular centrifuge is studied using finite difference solutions to the governing equations. In particular the secondary flow associated with the addition and removal of mass or momentum from the container is computed and analyzed. For parameters typical of the liquid centrifuges studied here, the governing equations are linear. Thus various feed and withdrawal configurations may be analyzed using superposition of a few solutions to the governing equations. Even aside from the secondary flow induced by the density difference between the species being separated, the addition and withdrawal of fluid is found to have a major impact on the secondary flow pattern.
