CPFD Software Supports BASF Seminar
Dr. Peter Loezos, VP Engineering at CPFD Software has been invited to speak at BASF’s FCC Fundamentals & Optimization Seminar 2023 to discuss FCC simulation technology.
Effect of in-Bed Heat Exchanger on Bed Inventory Imbalance in a Pantleg CFB Design – A CFD Study
In this paper presented at CFB-11, a team from Babcok & Wilcox Power Generation Group report on Barracuda simulations of a large capacity, pantleg CFB boiler.
A Critical Validation Study on CPFD Model in Simulating Gas–Solid Bubbling Fluidized Beds
To demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of Barracuda Virtual Reactor, a model of a pseudo-2D fluidized bed created using it is compared to a two-fluid model (TFM).
Introduction to Barracuda Virtual Reactor
Also available on Youtube. About This Webinar Presented by: Rosemary Clark, Senior Support Engineer – CPFD Software Sam Clark, Product Manager – CPFD Software CPFD hosted a webinar on Wednesday,…
Application of Multiphase Flow Computational Dynamics to Real Process Challenges: Thien Cyclone
A novel solids separator for a chemical looping reactor was designed at NETL using Barracuda Virtual Reactor, and the final as-built separator performed well.
Modeling on the Hydrodynamics of Pressurized High-Flux Circulating Fluidized Beds (PHFCFBs) by Eulerian–Lagrangian Approach
A novel Eulerian–Lagrangian approach based on the multi-phase particle-in-cell (MP-PIC) methodology was applied in the simulation of the hydrodynamic behavior of pressurized high-flux circulating fluidized beds (DHFCFBs), and the sensitivities of key models and modeling parameters on the predictions were tested systematically.
CPFD Software Expands Applications Team
CPFD Software announces expansion of its team by adding Dr. Shashank Karra to its growing team of experts who is skilled in thermal-fluid sciences and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) applications.
Simulation and Optimization of the Steam Gasification Process using CPFD
This paper demonstrates that Barracuda Virtual Reactor is well suited for simulating dense particle laden fluids present in steam gasification systems due to its numerical solving methods for both the particles and the fluid.
A New Blended Acceleration Model for the Particle Contact Forces Induced by an Interstitial Fluid in Dense Particle/Fluid Flows
O’Rourke and Snider present a new contact force model where individual particle accelerations are a blend between the particle acceleration of the original MP-PIC method, appropriate for rapid granular flows, and an average particle acceleration that applies to closely packed granular flows.
CPFD Software to Present at Fluidization XVII in Edinburgh
CPFD Software has been invited to speak at Fluidization XVII on May 21-25, 2023 in Edinburgh Scotland. James Parker would present on ‘Today’s Tools in the Scale up and Optimization of Today’s Fluidized Processes’ and ‘The Development of Improved Particle Drag Force Correlations for CFD Simulation’. The work is co-authored by Ray Cocco (PSRI) and Peter Blaser (CPFD Software).
