CPFD Flow Pattern Simulation in Downer Reactors
Researchers in Canada use an early version of Barracuda Virtual Reactor to predict local solid densification and asymmetric “wavy flows” in downer reactors.

This study by researchers at the Hamburg University of Technology and Tsinghua University investigated the applicability of CPFD for simulating flows in CFB risers for Geldart group A and B particles for low and high solids fluxes.
Experimental operation of three fluidized bed processors is compared with CFD simulation results by Parker, Williams, and Thibault, CPFD Software, and LaMarche, Chen, and Stamato, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company.
