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…
When running Barracuda VR 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. Note: nvidia-smi…
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.
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…
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…
In this paper a CPFD model is combined with ECT measurements to investigate the hydrodynamic behavior in a CFB boiler with six cyclones.
