Mold filling simulation
Sigma foundry transparent molds are used to validate the Telluride Mold-Filling code. A simple Plexiglas box with various injection ports is filled and monitored with high-speed digital video. Two fluid systems are tested—left: water and air, with a high density ratio and energetic flow with negligible surface tension effects; and right: gallium and water, with a low density ratio, laminar flow with high surface tension effects.
