Abstract

Two-fluid modeling of the casting process is important as it particularly provides insight to the air behavior during the filling process. Large deformations of the material-air front require an interface capturing technique to detect it on the fixed Eulerian meshes. On the other hand, if sharp interface is considered, jumps in the material properties along one single element causes severe instabilities in the solution. We review various techniques developed for both conservative level set method to capture the interface, and enrichment techniques to cure the instabilities. The coupling of the level set method with one of these enrichment techniques is applied to the mold filling process.
