This paper explores how advances in GPU and multi-GPU computing have impacted 3D, transient simulations of fluidized bed conversion processes, resulting in simulations running up to 400x faster using GPUs in a single workstation compared with CPU-only performance.
The advantages of the MP-PIC method can be seen in this paper, where researchers use it to analyze the full hydrodynamics and thermochemistry of a fluidized bed reactor for a sorption enhanced steam methane reforming process.
This video is part of the Tecplot for Barracuda Training Videos collection. This video shows how to use Data–>Alter–>Specify Equations and Data–>Alter–>Smooth when plotting xy data in Tecplot for Barracuda.…
In Barracuda simulations, the particle size distribution (PSD) of particles crossing a flux plane is often of interest. This post shows how to calculate the PSD when the “Bin by…
This video demonstrates some of the new multiphase simulation capabilities for vapor/liquid/solid (VLS) systems available in Barracuda Virtual Reactor 22.
This simulation shows the thermal cracker for a novel, fluidised-bed-based plastic recycling system.
This video demonstrates the discrete bubbles feature available as part of the new vapor/liquid/solids capabilities in Barracuda Virtual Reactor Version 22.1.
This video, provided courtesy of MTF Holdings, LLC, shows a novel concept for processing used motor oil (UMO), vaccuum resid (VR), opportunity feedstocks and orphan streams and demonstrates the vapor/liquid/solid simulation capabilities available in Barracuda Virtual Reactor 22.0.
This simulation demonstrates how Barracuda Virtual Reactor and Tecplot 360 can be used in conjunction to perform first-of-its-kind bubble characteristic analysis in fluidized beds.
This video demonstrates the new discrete bubble modeling capabilities available in Barracuda Virtual Reactor 22.1. Chemical reactions are modeled in the liquid phase and in the vapor phase within the bubbles.
