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.
Molten Metal Bubble Column Reactor
This application model uses Barracuda Virtual Reactor to simulate argon bubbles rising through molten iron in a laboratory-scale MMBCR. While chemical reactions are excluded in this study, the simulation captures detailed bubble behavior—tracking coalescence, breakup, and diameter evolution—as a foundation for modeling more complex reactive systems.
