read moreI found the use of Barracuda Virtual Reactor and the workflow easy and user-friendly. I was really positively surprised by the speed of the GPU calculations and how quickly I was able to obtain qualitative good results in minutes and hours compared to days and weeks. The staff at CFPD Software were also very friendly, supportive, and professional in all my communications with them.

This article highlights the collaboration between CPFD Software and the LUT University in utilizing Barracuda Virtual Reactor for pioneering research on calcium looping carbon capture technology development
This article examines the current trends in fluidization that have come about due to the newfound focus on sustainable applications, and how the role of computation tools used by those pursuing the applications is changing as well.
CPFD Software’s intern for summer 2024, Keshav, describes his experience working with the team and using Barracuda Virtual Reactor.
read moreThis paper, which uses Barracuda Virtual Reactor simulation results, demonstrates that solar-driven biomass gasification, using solar-heated particles as a heat carrier and a fluidized bed reactor, enhances green H2-enriched syngas production by improving heat transfer and gasification kinetics, thereby enabling continuous and stable operation despite fluctuating solar flux.
CPFD Software supports a collaborative effort with Molten Industries and US Steel to eliminate carbon emissions from iron reduction. This innovative approach uses renewable energy to produce hydrogen and solid graphite, offering a 75% reduction in energy intensity compared to alternative technologies.
This presentation covers kinetics model development using COMSOL and lab scale experiments, and reactor scale modeling in Barracuda Virtual Reactor.
This presentation reviews current decarbonization technologies and emerging new processes. The role of particle technology, and fluidization specifically, is explored.
Despite more than 100 years of commercialization of wide-ranging fluidized bed reactors, scale-up tools and methods have remained quite similar. To exploit the benefits of fluidized beds for the time-critical sustainability challenges, scale-up has to be implemented quicker and better.
