Controlling dipleg returns with multiple particle species
In a hypothetical reactor vessel, particles are separated from the gas via cyclones and returned through diplegs. In Barracuda VR, this is typically done through a Pressure BC measuring the…
Application of the MP-PIC Method for Predicting Pneumatic Conveying Characteristics of Dilute Phase Flows
This study by researchers at the University College of Southeast Norway and Tel-Tek investigates the applicability of the multiphase particle-in-cell (MP-PIC) method for predicting pneumatic conveying characteristics.
I can’t view my results in GMV anymore. What can I do?
There are various reasons that GMV output files (named Gmv.#####) may be unreadable by GMV. The three most common reasons are listed below: 1. Filled hard drive. This is more…
