Filling of a Thin Mold

An initially empty thin mold domain W is filled with a fluid.

The objective is to track the fluid-air front G(t).

If the air in the mold is vented this problem is described by

  • p is pressure
  • Qk is the flux (vol./time) at injection point k,
  • n is the normal on the fill front,
  • vn is the velocity of the fill front,
  • K is thefluidity;in case shown K(x,y)=max([x/y], [y/x])

Voller and his group have worked extensively on developing fixed grid volume of fluid VOF solutions for this problem.

The above simulation is a particular novel and efficient scheme based on a Hybrid Mote-Carlo Lattice-Boltzmann Method.
