Abstract: Impact of the pulsed braking force on the axial gas circulation in centrifuges for a uranium isotope separation was investigated by the method of numerical simulation. Two camera model has been explored. The pulsed braking of the rotating gas results into generation of waves which propagate along all length of the rotor of the centrifuge. The wavelength appears in accordance with predictions of our analytic theory. Pulsations almost doubles the axial circulation flux in the working camera in comparison with the case of the steady state breaking force with the same average power.
