A two‐dimensional computer simulation of cake growth was studied for the slip casting of alumina with a gypsum mold. Based on the Adcock and McDowall model, the method of finite differences was applied to the simulation, and numerical calculations were performed for the cake growth on the inside wall of a rectangular, box‐type mold by using the cake‐growth controlling parameters that were obtained experimentally. Good agreement was observed between the experimental and calculated cake growth in the vicinity of the boundary between the gypsum mold and the silicon rubber and at the rectangular corner of the gypsum mold. The present simulation method is expected to be useful for estimating cake growth on molds with complicated shapes in slip casting.
