A NUMERICAL MODEL BASED ON FLOW-3D A THREE DIMENSIONAL FINITE DIFFERENCE SOFTWARE BASED ON THE SOLA- VOF FREE SURFACE MODELER HAS BEEN DEVELOPED, TO SIMULATE THE TRANSIENT, INERTIA DOMINATED AND COMPLEX CAVITY FILLING IN HIGH PRESSURE DIE CASTINGS. IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE ACCURACY OF THIS APPROACH IN MODELING THE COMPLICATED FLOW CONDITIONS IN DIE CASTINGS, A COMPARISON WITH EXPERIMENTAL FILLING PATTERNS OBTAINED FROM WATER ANALOGY RESULTS WAS CONDUCTED AND SELECTED RESULTS ARE PRESENTED.
