International audienceThe Navier-Stokes incompressible model is used to describe two-dimensional metal casting flow. Such flows involve moving free boundaries. A new numerical algorithm has been developed using the Lagrangian finite-element method. It allows treatment of flows with moderate Reynolds numbers. The main feature is to avoid the calculation of the convective term, together with an automatic remeshing technique, to cure the mesh distortions. The problem of the free oscillation of a liquid is treated to verify the formulation. An application of this method to the computation of an industrial metal casting flow situation is presented
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
