Abstract

Finite element methods for the approximate solution of the Onsager pancake equation are considered. This equation models the flow of a gas in a rapidly rotating centrifuge. A full description of two algorithms is given. To show the viability of these methods, two numerical examples are presented, one for flow driven by a linear temperature gradient along the wall of the centrifuge, and the other for flow driven by axial mass fluxes through the end caps of the centrifuge.
