Cyclone Study
This video of a cyclone simulation demonstrates the use of Tecplot 360 to perform advanced analysis of results from Barracuda Virtual Reactor.
Using Tracers in a Barracuda Virtual Reactor Model
Tracers can be used to track fluid flow and fluid residence time in a simulation. Tracers are Lagrangian entities that do not have any mass or volume, and they follow…
Particle Flow Through an L-valve
This video is part of set of simulations for a novel, fluidised-bed-based plastic recycling system. In this simulation, particle flow through an L valve is studied.
Hydrodynamics of molten-metal bubble columns in the near-bubbling field using volume of fluid computational fluid dynamics
A volume of fluid computational fluid dynamics (VOF-CFD) model coupled with a large eddy simulation (LES) turbulence equation was developed and validated for MMBCs.
MP-PIC investigation of glycerol steam reforming in bubbling fluidized bed for high-quality hydrogen production
A reactive multiphase particle-in-cell approach is adopted to numerically investigate the physical and thermochemical characteristics of glycerol steam reforming process in a three-dimensional bubbling fluidized bed.
Using a PID Controller Script to Control Boundary Conditions
In some Barracuda Virtual Reactor simulations, it is useful to dynamically and automatically control flow rates, pressures, temperature, or other parameters at boundary conditions (BCs) based on information from data…
Monitoring and Troubleshooting Particle Feed
In many Barracuda simulations there is a particle feed of some kind. Most commonly this will be at a Flow or Injection BC. It is important to monitor a particle…
