The paper presents a nonstationary mathematical model of the UF6 desublimation in a vertical storage vessel regarding the convection and UF6 desublimation on a bottom wall, as well as the ellipticity of the upper and lower walls of the vessel. Simulation results are presented for the linear desublimation rate, thickness of a solid layer, temperature distribution in the vessel wall-desublimate layer system, and dynamics of filling out the 2,5 m3 cylindrical vessel with solid UF6 as functions of time. Keywords: uranium hexafluoride, desublimation, mathematical model, heat-and-mass transport, nonstationary process, gas dynamics, Stephen problem, a mobile grid, SIMPLE algorithm, iteration-interpolation method.
