dc.description.abstractThe present work analyzes the free surface flow characteristics during mold filling in a low pressure casting process (LPC) through water model experiments and numerical simulations. The flow patterns visualized through the water analog experiments using different input pressure sequences have been verified with numerical simulation results for the entire LPC process. The benchmarked numerical model has been further used to study the impact of different in-gate shapes on fluid free surface behavior inside the mold cavity. The mold filling and solidification simulation is then carried out using magnesium alloy as liquid for the same geometry and the same input pressure profile to highlight the effect of thermo physical properties of actual melts on the free surface flow behavior. © 2017
