Abstract

The paper presents a mathematical model of the process of filling a vertical immersible container with gaseous UF6. The mathematical model was program-realized and verified on a test problem related to liquid flow in a cavity with a mobile lid. The results of calculations of the dynamics of filling a container at different diameters of the inlet valve, container volumes, and at different dimensions of a horizontal fin are given. It is shown that the inlet valve diameter, container volume, and the presence of horizontal finning substantially influence the dynamics of filling the container.
