## Abstract A numerical simulation of reaction injection molding (RIM) of polymeric foam is developed, using a finite volume method (FVM). In this study we predict mold filling with a variable‐density fluid that fills a mold by self‐expansion. We deal with two‐dimensional, isothermal cases. With th

## Abstract A two dimensional finite element model for the simulation of the advancing front in reaction injection molding (RIM) is presented. The model is based on the solution of the full Navier‐Stokes equation for the computation of the velocity and pressure. The arbitrary Lagrange‐Euler method
## Abstract The injection‐molding process consists of three consecutive stages: filling, packing, and cooling. In order to obtain some insight into the phenomena involved in the process, and particularly in order to evaluate the moldability of certain resins and to predict the microstructure and pr
## Abstract This article presents a visualization study on nonisothermal bubble growth and collapse in the foam injection molding process (FIM). Observation study can give more insight to the bubble growth in foaming process, especially in the challenging injection foaming process. In this study, b
