Preliminary results on optimum and practical countercurrent tlow in gas ultracertrifuges are presented. An irternal flow problem for countercurrent centrifuges was solved for a semi-infinite-length case. The lowest mode results indicate that at values of the speed parameter above about 2.5, decay lengths are higher than those calculated in an isothermal version of the problem. (J.R.D.)
