Point Clients to On-Premise RLM Server
This page contains instructions for pointing clients to an on-premise RLM server. The process is the same for both Barracuda Virtual Reactor and Arena-flow. The instructions below assume that you have already…
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.
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.
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.
