摘要

The flow around the scoops in a gas centrifuge was analyzed by solving the Navier-Stokes equations for different outflow conditions using the vector splitting method. The second order total variation diminishing scheme was used to efficiently capture the shockwave. The flow fields inside and outside the scoop were calculated for different working conditions to analyze the influence of the shock wave and the gas viscosity. The results show that the shockwave and the boundary layer are captured in the numerical simulations, so this method can be used to study the flow field around the scoops and the power consumption of the scoops.
