Drag Force of Intermediate Reynolds Number Flow Past Mono- and Bidisperse Arrays of Spheres
Extensive lattice-Boltzmann simulations were performed to obtain the drag force for random arrays of monodisperse and bidisperse spheres.

This training example is part of the Barracuda Virtual Reactor Supplemental Training collection. It is intended to be done independently and after completion of the Barracuda Virtual Reactor New User…
Cyclones have been in operation for over one hundred years. Arena-Flow simulations were preformed to understand the gas hydrodynamics in a commercial scale cyclone and its implication towards both gas distribution and residence time.
This paper demonstrates a correlation between in-bed pressure fluctuations and information about bubble size distribution for Geldart A and B powders.
This post shows how to start a Barracuda Virtual Reactor simulation from an Initial Condition (IC_*) file. It is possible to do many interesting and useful things that are not…
This post shows how to restart simulations in Barracuda Virtual Reactor. When running Virtual Reactor simulations, there are several situations when a simulation may need to be restarted: The simulation…
There are times when a Flow BC will not be perfectly aligned with the three major axes. In order to place the Flow BC correctly, direction vectors can be used…
The kinetic model in this paper is based on a molecular approach and is proposed to represent the cracking reactions of industrial feedstocks on a commercial equilibrium catalyst; given that it shows the importance of the condensation and hydrogen transfer reactions for coke formation and gasoline quality, it therefore can be used for modeling a commercial FCC riser.
This paper documents how the Eulerian-Lagrangian approach can be used to simulate simultaneous evaporation and cracking reactions occurring in FCC riser reactors.
Tracers can be used to track fluid flow and fluid residence time in a simulation. Tracers are Lagrangian entities that do not have any mass or volume, and they follow…
