Abstract: This paper demonstrates the potential of a computer code, developed by the authors, in shaping gating systems by modeling the fluid flow phenomena through a complex gating system during mold filling. A plate casting with dimension 200 mm×200 mm×50 mm was chosen as the verifying problem. Water analog studies were carried out on this casting. The comparison indicates that computer simulation could be a powerful tool in shaping gating systems.
