Gas Centrifuge is an equipment used for separation of isotopes like UF6, SF6 or separation of CO 2-CH 4 mixture from natural gas reservoirs consist of annular region scoops for enriched and depleted isotopes. Baffle is creating vertical structure in the vessel. The simulations are carried out to capture the shock wave near the scoop region which is used for collection of enriched uranium. This region has very high Mach number. This work is providing insight of how to simulate high speed flow with the help of rhoCentralFoam in OpenFoam. SnappyHexMesh utility from OpenFOAM is used for meshing this kind of geometry where parts of geometries intersecting as well as Swak4Foam utility is used to give profile for the internal field and to boundary condition.
