Particle segregation in Barracuda Virtual Reactor® is influenced by both fundamentals and empirical models. Barracuda Virtual Reactor results can range from full particle segregation to uniform beds depending on the…
Typical circular air distributors will have ring(s) of nozzles which can be modeled with Injection BCs. Determining the x,y,z location and nx, ny, nz direction of each nozzle can be challenging…
Known Issues main page Barracuda Virtual Reactor 17.2.0 Issues fixed in this version: KI-49: Maximum allowed number of particle species is 50 KI-62: User-defined agglomeration curve must use “radius” in…
When using GMV's “Select” feature for cells, particles, or nodes, it is possible to specify a range and a stride, so that every Nth item is shown, and all others…
Update: The 17.2 release takes care of this issue. Support files created with 17.2 do not need this workaround. Please follow these instructions if you are using version 17.1 or earlier. Due to…
It is often desired to calculate the volume of a spatial region that meets certain criteria. For visualization, GMV’s isovolume feature is very convenient and gives an on-screen view of…
Known Issues main page Barracuda Virtual Reactor 17.1.0 Issues fixed in this version: KI-45: Energy balance may be incorrect due to inconsistencies at Pressure BCs KI-48: Particle feed rate may…
Proper selection of the drag model can have a significant effect on the results from Barracuda Virtual Reactor simulations. As part of our continuing study of drag models, CPFD Software,…
In an ideal world, you would never forget to define all of the output data needed for a simulation, during the project setup process. In the real world, however, it sometimes…
When post-processing Barracuda VR simulation data, an average value of a variable in a particular plane may be needed. There are a couple of different ways to obtain the data…
