This publication discusses the application of high speed particle imaging velocimetry technology to study the real-time behavior of gas-particle flow fields in circulating fluidized bed (CFB) risers
This paper illustrates the advantages of Barracuda Virtual Reactor in modeling a low temperature post-combustion carbon capture reactor when compared to Eulerian-Lagrangian (DDPM) methods or to Eulerian-Eulerian methods.
In this paper, Clark, Snider, and Spenik compare cold-flow experimental results with Barracuda simulation for a full-loop CFB experimental carbon capture unit constructed at the US DOE National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL).
This paper describes the development and implementation of Electrical Capacitance Volume Tomography (ECVT), which can provide more detailed understanding of multiphase flow behavior inside a Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) by offering a 3-D technique capable of visualizing the flow field in real-time.
Differential pressure fluctuations are routinely measured in fluidized beds to delineate fluidization regimes, provide hydrodynamics data, and/or assess fluidization quality.
This paper discusses how Barracuda Virtual Reactor was used to gain insights into potentially unexpected fluidization behaviors.
Researchers from China University of Petroleum use CPFD modeling to create a three-dimensional model for gas-solid flow in a circulating fluidized bed (CFB).

In a FLUID COKING unit, reactor cyclone fouling by coke deposits can set the run length of the unit. It was found that the CFD model could quantitatively predict coke distributions in the freeboard region of a FLUID COKING reactor experimental rig, while providing insight into the flow dynamics.
Standpipes provide the pressure balance in a circulating fluidized bed and thereby dictate the solid flux into the riser. This research explains the role of aeration ins standpipe flow.
