The ability to simulate the interactions between fluid flow, particle mixing, and thermal dynamics helps us explore scenarios that are complicated in behavior and often hard to theoretically predict. It’s a game-changer for research that has traditionally relied on empirical data.

One of the major goals of [our] research is to optimize co-gasification systems under varying operating conditions, especially given the variability of heterogeneous feedstocks. [Barracuda Virtual Reactor] enables us to model those complex interactions in detail, ultimately leading to a better understanding of how to design more robust and efficient gasification systems.
