Upcoming Webinar: Introducing Arena-flow on the Siemens APA
CPFD Software and Siemens will jointly host an upcoming webinar on April 8, 2026, 8 AM Central, to introduce Arena-flow, now available through the Siemens Advanced Partner Alliance.
CPFD Software Announces Arena-flow Distribution Agreement with ASK Chemicals Japan
CPFD Software is pleased to announce a direct distribution and collaboration agreement with ASK Chemicals Japan Co., Ltd.
CPFD to Present AI-Accelerated Multiphase Modeling at SPE-GCS Annual Symposium
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/Liquid-Solid Flows Using Barracuda Virtual Reactor (MP-PIC): An Industrial Perspective.”
Barracuda Application Model Webinar Series: Cement Calciner Decomposition Furnace
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.
Barracuda Application Model Webinar Series: Direct Reduced Iron Shaft Furnace
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.

Application Model: Industrial Scale 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.
