%X Gas-assisted injection molding has become mole popular because of its notable ad-vantages. This process comprises a partial injection of polymer melt into a mold cavity, followedby an injection of compressed gas into the polymer melt. The gas penetrates in the polymer meltand forces the polymer melt to fill the whole mold cavity. Because the influence of gas pene-tration considenably complicates melt flows, so the experience of conventional injection moldingis not suitable any more and computer simulation of the process is urgently needed. Computersimulation of this process has become current hot research topic.The solution of gas interface penetration is the principal problem in the implementation of thesimulation. In this paper, the gas penetration interface is described by gas penetration thicknessratio. When governing equations and boundary conditions are made dimensionless, dimensionlesspressure is defined as the ratio of melts pressure and surface tension on unit length interface.Therefore, Capillary Number Ca is introduced into the dimensionless governing equations andboundary conditions. And then a matching asymptotic expansion method is applied to solve theseequations. Ca and Ca2/3 are used as perturbation parameters to get the inner solution and outersolution of gas penetration interface respectively. By matching these two solutions, gas penetrationthickness ratio can be obtained. The result shows that gas penetration thickness ratio is a functionof Ca. This means that gas penetration extent is determined by the balance of surface tension andviscous force on the gas penetration interface.Finally, a comparison between the experimental and simulation results is made, indicating thatthe simulation results seem to agree well with the experimental results and hence proves that abovemathematical model and solving method are correct.
