Using Tracers in a Barracuda Virtual Reactor Model
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…

The scale-up of fluidized beds is not an exact science. Deep fluidized beds of Group A materials can cause significant gas bypassing leading to poor gas-solids contacting.
The simulation results in this paper support the idea that the average drag coefficient is an important factor for the two-fluid model and suggest that the EMMS approach could be used as a kind of multiscale closure law for drag coefficient in areas where the Wen Yu-Ergun hybrid is insufficient.
Knowing the speed of a simulation and understanding what drives simulation wall times is important. This post covers monitoring wall time, qualifying the speed of a simulation, and briefly touches…
This paper by researchers at Arena-Flow LLC and Sandia National Labs demonstrate early successes in the Eulerian-Lagrangian, MP-PIC method used by Barracuda Virtual Reactor in modeling three-dimensional flow in a gas-solid riser.
This paper demonstrates a way to validate the hydrodynamics of a system with image analysis techniques.
In this post, we will show how to monitor and analyze license usage when using the Reprise License Manager (both on-premise and RLMCloud). This can provide valuable usage information to…
A 3-dimensional image reconstruction technique based on neural network multi-criterion optimization (NN-MOIRT) for electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) is developed for the first time.
This paper summarizes the effects airborne particles can have on erosion.
In some Barracuda Virtual Reactor simulations, it is useful to dynamically and automatically control flow rates, pressures, temperature, or other parameters at boundary conditions (BCs) based on information from data…
