When running Virtual Reactor with GPU parallel acceleration, the nvidia-smi command-line tool is useful for monitoring the memory usage, temperature, and number of processes using the GPU card(s) on your system.…
Barracuda VR 16.0.3 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…
Surface erosion is dependent upon many factors including surface material, particle material, particle shape, quality of surface installation, time in service, temperature, chemistry and certainly much more. A comprehensive model…
O’Rourke and Snider present a new contact force model where individual particle accelerations are a blend between the particle acceleration of the original MP-PIC method, appropriate for rapid granular flows, and an average particle acceleration that applies to closely packed granular flows.
A model of a full-scale fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) regenerator using the Eulerian-Lagrangian CPFD method in Barracuda VR. This video illustrates the use of the Barracuda Virtual Reactor to predict the 100°F afterburn observed at the refinery.
Barracuda VR 16.0.3 for Linux 64-bit is available for download from CPFD Software. A Windows version of Series 16 will be released soon upon completion of testing. Barracuda VR 16.0.3…
