The hierarchy of mathematical models of injection molding is reviewed. Compatibility of the models of the hierarchy, usefulness of simultaneous applications of models formulated on several different levels of the hierarchy and compatability between physical approximations leading to the formulation of a model, and mathematical approximations used to solve numerically the governing equations of the model are discussed. This review is intended to facilitate the search for a model that is best suited to a given need and to indicate future research.
