The Multi-Phase Particle-in-Cell Method (MP-PIC): History and Recent Developments
This presentation by Peter J. O’Rourke discusses the history of the MP-PIC method which is traced from its origins in spray modeling to recent modifications that include sub-models for important particle-particle effects. MP-PIC is compared with other methodologies for simulating dense particulate two-phase flows.
Validation of Hydrodynamics and Reaction Chemistry in Pilot-Scale Fluidized Bed Combustors and Gasifiers
This presentation by Andrew Fry discusses pilot-scale facilities at the University of Utah and the integration of Barracuda simulations with ongoing experiments.
KiOR Update: Incorporating Barracuda in our BFCC Development Process
This presentation by Bruce Adkins, Neeti Kapur, James Parker, Peter Blaser, and John Pendergrass reports KiOR’s progress and learnings in developing a Catalytic Fast Pyrolysis (CFP) process for producing transportation fuels from biomass and shares some pointers about quality of lab experiments and future plans.
CFD Simulation of a 2 MWe CFB Boiler
This simulation shows how 3D simulations performed in Barracuda Virtual Reactor can be validated not just through rigorous experimental measurement, but also by 1D simulation of boundary conditions.
