This project, part of the EU ESPRIT program (Reference: ESPRIT 28144), ran from September 1998 to February 2001, focusing on modeling the mould filling processes in industrial casting. The primary objectives included determining the position of the molten metal front, predicting conflicting regions, computing filling times, and accounting for thermal effects. Key methodologies utilized were level set techniques for tracking free surfaces, stabilized finite element approximations of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, and block-iterative coupling with temperature.
