The whole simulation is modeled as a 2D problem. On the threee pictures below, geometry, computational model and mesh of the wall is shown.

In case of pipe casting from the side, concrete is filled in through the pipe, as it is shown at Fig. 1.b. Diameter of the pipe is 0.1 m (note, that is modeled as a 2D problem). Concrete is filled in with prescribed velocity equal to 0.2 m/s. It is modeled fith no-friction boundary condition on any wall. Boundary conditions on the holes are prescribed in local coordinate system where normal component of velocity is forbidden and tangent component is free. Material parameters of used concrete are:

• yield stress 50 [Pa]
• plastic viscosity 50 [Pa*s]
• densty 2300 [kg/m3]
