CPFD Software is pleased to once again sponsor and participate in the SPE-GCS Annual Symposium. Saurav Mitra of CPFD Software will present “AI-Accelerated Reduced-Order Modeling for Dense Gas-Solid Flows Using Barracuda Virtual Reactor (MP-PIC): An Industrial Perspective.”
CPFD Software is pleased to announce a direct distribution and collaboration agreement with ASK Chemicals Japan Co., Ltd.
In this webinar, we will present the Cement Calciner Decomposition Furnace Application Model, which uses Barracuda Virtual Reactor to simulate an industrial-scale calciner. The model captures the coupled gas–solid hydrodynamics, coal combustion, devolatilization, and limestone calcination within a fully compressible, reacting multiphase flow framework.
CPFD Software (CPFD) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a software licensing agreement with Alléo Energy for use of CPFD’s Barracuda Virtual Reactor fluid-particle simulation software. Alléo…
This installment in the series will focus on the Direct Reduced Iron Shaft Furnace Application Model, which provides a detailed digital twin of a full-scale DRI shaft furnace based on operating data from a commercial plant in Quebec, Canada. The model captures key process zones, including cooling, reducing, and transition regions, using a moving bed framework with compressible flow, volumetric and discrete reaction chemistry, and user-defined reaction kinetics.

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.

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.
