The most common system types include :
a funnel or pouring basin;
a vertical downspout with cross-sectional area S d ;
a horizontal duct, known as the pouring channel, with cross-section S c upstream of the first attack, distributing the metal flow into the cavity via small ducts, known as attacks, whose total cross-section is S a .
Depending on whether the sequence of relative values of the cross-sections S d , S c and S a is increasing or decreasing, it is common practice...
