Barracuda Virtual Reactor Users’ Conference 2024 Registration Now Open
CPFD opens registration for the Barracuda Virtual Reactor Users’ Conference 2024 which will be held at the W Chicago – Lakeshore hotel, immediately following the PSRI Annual Meeting.
Considerations for Particle Reynolds Number in Drag Models
The particle Reynolds number, Re, is a common term used in many drag models. As discussed in the Particles chapter of Users Manual, in Barracuda the particle Reynolds number is…
Effect of particle size distribution on hydrodynamics of pneumatic conveying system based on CPFD simulation
In this paper, researchers demonstrate Barracuda Virtual Reactor’s ability to accurately model the relationship between particle size distributions and the hydrodynamics of pneumatic conveying systems by comparing simulation results to experimental data.
