This paper discusses how Barracuda Virtual Reactor was used to gain insights into potentially unexpected fluidization behaviors.
Researchers from China University of Petroleum use CPFD modeling to create a three-dimensional model for gas-solid flow in a circulating fluidized bed (CFB).

In a FLUID COKING unit, reactor cyclone fouling by coke deposits can set the run length of the unit. It was found that the CFD model could quantitatively predict coke distributions in the freeboard region of a FLUID COKING reactor experimental rig, while providing insight into the flow dynamics.
This video shows the hydrodynamics, thermal profile and effect of combustion reactions in an FCC regenerator.
Standpipes provide the pressure balance in a circulating fluidized bed and thereby dictate the solid flux into the riser. This research explains the role of aeration ins standpipe flow.
Researchers in Canada use an early version of Barracuda Virtual Reactor to predict local solid densification and asymmetric “wavy flows” in downer reactors.
This video, provided courtesy of MTF Holdings, LLC, shows a novel concept for processing used motor oil (UMO), vaccuum resid (VR), opportunity feedstocks and orphan streams and demonstrates the vapor/liquid/solid simulation capabilities available in Barracuda Virtual Reactor 22.0.
