CPFD Software was nominated for “Best Modeling Technology” for “Barracuda Virtual Reactor Simulation Technology for Vapor-Liquid-Solid Processes” at the Gulf Energy Information Excellence Awards
CPFD Software generally recommends testing chemical reactions and rates in a single-cell model before implementing in a full scale model. What do we mean by a single-cell chemistry test? There…
This paper compares the results of a two-fluid model (TFM) of a fluidized bed to other CFD methods, including Barracuda Virtual Reactor.
This open-ended question comes up a lot. There are multiple approaches that could be used, depending on the purpose of the simulation. This post explores several options for modeling fluidization…
In this paper, a model developed using Barracuda Virtual Reactor is used to quantify the relationship between the flow hydrodynamics and the chemical reactions in multiphase flow-reaction systems.
This presentation by Peter Blaser, Roque Lopez, and Sam Clark discusses enhancements that allow the Barracuda Virtual Reactor to be used on high performance computing systems.
Barracuda can export a large amount of data to text files that can be further analyzed to gain additional insight into the performance of a model. For example, particle snap…
Virtual Reactor simulation of a biomass pyrolysis reactor, by Kokourine and Adham at Hatch, verifies that plug-flow with internal-recirculation (PFIR) can be achieved under reasonable operating conditions.
The simulation results in this paper show the numerous modeling capabilities of the MP-PIC approach to identify possible performance and reliability issues of an industrial Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) regenerator..
