Experiments of filling the model moulds cavity of various inner shapes inserted in rectangular cavity of the casting die (dimensions: 280
mm (height) x 190 mm (width) x 10 mm (depth) by applying model liquids of various density and viscosity are presented in the paper.
Influence of die venting as well as inlet system area and inlet velocity on the volumetric rate of filling of the model liquid – achieved by
means of filming the process in the system of a cold-chamber casting die was tested. Experiments compared with the results of simulation
performed by means of the calculation module Novacast (Novaflow&Solid) for the selected various casting conditions – are also
presented in the paper.
