Barracuda VR 16.0.2 Issues affecting this version: KI-1: Particle Drag is not calculated for pure liquid particles when simulation has no solid materials KI-2: 2D data is missing output conversion…
The default animation utility in Linux (xanim) is very convenient for viewing animations. In particular, it lets you step forward and backward through the animation, frame-by-frame, which can be very…
In this paper a CPFD model is combined with ECT measurements to investigate the hydrodynamic behavior in a CFB boiler with six cyclones.
In this study by Loha, Chattopadhyay, and Chatterjee, simulated gas compositions are found to be in good agreement with experimental data for a bubbling fluidized bed biomass gasifier.
Dr. James Parker of CPFD Software demonstrates how Barracuda Virtual Reactor can be used to develop a full three-dimensional model of a chemical looping combustion system and simulate the particle–fluid hydrodynamics, thermal characteristics, and reaction efficiency.
Minimum fluidization and bubbling densities and velocities are widely used in fluidized bed design and modeling. The methods presently used for measuring these parameters are, however, time consuming and labor intensive.
CPFD Software, LLC, announces today that their software partner, Computational Engineering International, Inc. (CEI) has released support for the CPFD Software’s flagship product, Barracuda Virtual Reactor®.
Barracuda VR 16.0.2 for Linux 64-bit is available for download from CPFD Software. A Windows version of Series 16 will follow upon completion of testing. Barracuda VR 16.0.2 is the…
