A First-Ever Innovative Brown-Field Modification in Conservative Cement Industry – De-Risked by Smart Simulation
This presentation by Martin Weng discusses how the Barracuda Virtual Reactor was used to de-risk the modification of a German cement plant.
Filtration Performance of Sand Screens in Oil & Gas Wells
This application model uses Barracuda Virtual Reactor to simulate sand and water flowing through a downhole sand screen.
Cement Calciner Sludge Co-firing
This application model extends CPFD Software’s industrial-scale cement calciner model to simulate co-firing with municipal sludge.
Proppant Transport in a Single Hydraulic Fracture, Machine Learning Accelerated
This application model uses Barracuda Virtual Reactor to simulate proppant transport and settling in a single hydraulic fracture, including the interaction of a realistic proppant size distribution with slickwater. The validated Barracuda results also provide training data for a Graph Neural Network reduced-order model (GNN-ROM), which closely reproduces the predicted bed profiles at a fraction of the computational cost.
