Abstract
Studies are reviewed on the uranium hexafluoride gas isotope separation by centrifugation. A flow field in a centrifuge rotor is numerically determined by solving flow equations for compressible gas in strong rotation. The diffusion equation is also solved to determine the molar concentration distribution of the lighter isotope corresponding to the obtained flow field. A modified version of the Newton method is adopted to get the full solution in static state for these nonlinear equations. Some numerical results are shown and compared with the experimental data made by Beams et al. and Zippe, and found to be in good agreement.
