Cartesian coordinates, on the other hand, have been used predominantly in casting process simulations because of their relatively easy and fast grid generation. However, Cartesian grid systems cannot obtain accurate results because they cannot express the geometries properly. In this study, Cut Cell method was applied to solve this problem. The three-dimensional incompressible viscous governing equation was analyzed using a function defined for the volume and area of the casting in the cutting cell.
