We have developed and program-realized a mathematical model of nonstationary separation processes proceeding in cascades of gas centrifuges for separation of multicomponent isotope mixtures. With the help of this model we have calculated the parameters of nonstationary separation processes proceeding in the cascades of gas centrifuges for tungsten isotope separation. It has been shown that the model adequately describes the nonstationary processes in the cascade and is suitable for calculating their parameters during separation of multicomponent isotope mixtures.
