AM-17-77 Improving FCC Economics through Computational Particle Fluid Dynamics Simulation
CPFD Software researches how to make FCC processes more economically efficient, using Barracuda Virtual Reactor to identify and diagnose issues with emissions and with afterburn.
Why is the contact friction model off by default?
Before discussing default settings, let’s first consider the motivation behind the contact friction model. The Eulerian/Lagrangian formulation of the fluid/particle flow equations used by Barracuda is what allows it to…
