The Benefits of NVIDIA for Barracuda Virtual Reactor
This presentation by Rey Gomez discusses the applications of GPUs and how NVIDIA hardware is powering workloads from CFD to physics-informed neural networks (PINNs).
Realistic Models Require Realistic Boundary Conditions
This presentation by Ray Cocco focuses on the challenges of defining boundary conditions that are either as accurate as possible, or located in a region that has the least impact with uniform flow and concentration assumption.
Making Multi-GPU Simulation Accessible to All with NVIDIA DGX A100
This presentation by Andy Lin demonstrates how the NVIDIA DGX A100 provides multi-GPU compute capabilities to everyday software users.
Application Model: Glycerol Steam Reforming
Introduction As global energy consumption continues to increase, the search for sustainable alternative energy technologies becomes increasingly important. Of the available options, bioenergy technologies like biodiesel fuels have garnered a…
Application Model: Dry Reforming of Methane (DRM) in a Fluidized Bed Reactor
Introduction Dry reforming of methane (DRM) utilizes methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), the two major sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and main components of biogas, to produce pure…
Application Model: Bubble Hydrodynamics in Molten Metal Bubble Column Reactors
This application model uses Barracuda Virtual Reactor to simulate argon bubbles rising through molten iron in a laboratory-scale MMBCR. While chemical reactions are excluded in this study, the simulation captures detailed bubble behavior—tracking coalescence, breakup, and diameter evolution—as a foundation for modeling more complex reactive systems.
Application Model: Hydrogen Production with Sorbent Enhanced Steam Methane Reforming (SE-SMR)
Introduction Fossil fuels usage accounts for 96% of the 60 million tons of hydrogen (H2) produced world wide (Al-Qahtani’ 2020). Currently steam methane reforming combined with carbon capture and storage…
