Calculating the Volume of Selected Cells
It is often desired to calculate the volume of a spatial region that meets certain criteria. For visualization, GMV’s isovolume feature is very convenient and gives an on-screen view of…
Application of the MP-PIC Method for Predicting Pneumatic Conveying Characteristics of Dilute Phase Flows
This study by researchers at the University College of Southeast Norway and Tel-Tek investigates the applicability of the multiphase particle-in-cell (MP-PIC) method for predicting pneumatic conveying characteristics.
CPFD Simulations of an Industrial-Sized Dual Fluidized Bed Steam Gasification System of Biomass with 8 MW Fuel Input
In this study by Bioenergy 2020+ and the Technical University of Vienna, an industrial-sized dual fluidized bed biomass gasification system was simulated with Barracuda Virtual Reactor and compared with plant data.
Small-Scale Particle Interactions Are Having Significant Effects on Global Fluidized Bed Behavior
Fluidized bed design and scale-up depends strongly on particle characteristics such as size and shape. Preliminary work on particle shear in a packed and fluidized beds, suggest that particle clustering can be measured and may provide a quantifiable metric for the level of particle clustering.
