Decast Project data • Title: Enhanced design environment for industrial casting processes on parallel computing platforms • Project type: Esprit, EU • Reference: Esprit 28144 • Period: 01/09/1998 – 28/02/2001 • Collaborators: Orlando Soto, Herbert Coppola-Owen
Objectives To model mould filling processes: • To determine the position of the front of the molten metal • To predict conflicting regions • To compute filling times • To account for thermal effects
Key numerical ingredients • Tracking of free surfaces through level set techniques • Stabilized finite element approximation of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations • Block-iterative coupling with temperature
