Shell Sand, Thin-Walled Jacket Core
This video shows the cope and drag views of a thin-walled jacket core made using the shell sand / warm box module of Arena-flow.
Cold Box Core Blowing, Cylinder Head Water Jacket
Arena-flow by CPFD Software simulates the blowing of industrial sand cores, and this video highlights a cold box core scenario of a cylinder head water jacket.
Three Foundry Case Studies on Simulation Software
Fondrémy Inc., in collaboration with LAEMPE REICH, used Arena-flow to improve casting quality and reduce tooling costs for a complex water pump housing. By simulating sand core shooting and gassing, the team minimized prototyping, accelerated production, and transitioned to a high-yield, vertically poured molding process.
Vertical Blowing of a Greensand Mold
This video demonstrates the blowing of a green sand mold half on a vertical molding line. The sand initially enters at a higher velocity before slowing down as the mold fills.
Core Blowing and Related Core Density
This video shows a comparison between two iterations of core layouts.
Sorption Enhanced Reforming (SER) Hydrogen Production Simulation via Barracuda Virtual Reactor
ZEG Power use Barracuda Virtual Recator to model the complex fluid-particle interactions, heat transfer, and chemical reactions within the Sorption Enhanced Reforming (SER) hydrogen production process
Application Model: Erosion in a 90-Degree Elbow
This application model uses Barracuda Virtual Reactor to simulate solid particle erosion in a 90-degree elbow, capturing particle-wall impacts and wear patterns under varying mass loadings. The simulation demonstrates how particle collisions influence erosion severity and distribution, enabling evaluation of component durability in particulate-laden flows.
Application Model: Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) Shaft Furnace for Steel Production
This application model uses Barracuda Virtual Reactor to simulate the direct reduction of iron ore in a MIDREX-style shaft furnace. The simulation tracks moving bed hydrodynamics and reduction reactions between iron oxide particles and a hydrogen–carbon monoxide gas mixture, enabling evaluation of solids conversion, gas species evolution, and furnace temperature profiles.
Application Model: Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustor
This application model uses Barracuda Virtual Reactor to simulate combustion inside the riser of a lab-scale CFB combustor. The simulation tracks fluid-particle interactions and chemical reactions between air and volatile species released from coal particles. This enables users to evaluate combustion performance, temperature profiles, and gas species distributions such as O₂, CO₂, NO, and SO₂ across the riser.
