Results of a numerical simulation of the filling of a sand mold with pure aluminum and its solidification are presented in this paper. The problem has been chosen as a benchmark test for the 7th International Conference on Casting Modeling and Solidification. The computations are carried out using FLOW-3D which is a general-purpose CFD code. The simulation involves viscous fluid flow with transient free surfaces, metal/mold heat transfer, conduction in both metal and mold, and latent heat release. The basic methods used to solve the full Navier-Stokes and energy equations, with the fluid configuration modeled by the VOF method, are presented along with the physical setup of the problem and numerical solution strategy.
