pouring a liquid

Ray Roberts

I have an open topped cylindrical container partially filled with a molten metal in a vacuum. I want to pour the liquid over the top edge of the container, following (approximately, say plus or minus 20 percent)a pre-defined pour rate profile. I need to know at what rate I should tilt the container, how far horizontally the pour stream will have travelled from the lip of the vessel and the diameter of the stream as it passes through a plane at a known distance below the vessel (where the top of a mold is located). Is this something that's calculatable in a reasonable time (hours or days, not months or years...)with currently available cfd codes by someone in industry on, say, a high end PC? On a workstation? On a Cray? On anything? Any informed advice will be appreciated!
