In Barracuda simulations, the particle size distribution (PSD) of particles crossing a flux plane is often of interest. This post shows how to calculate the PSD when the “Subdivide by…
Thermal Wall BCs in Barracuda allow heat transfer to and from the system, depending on the relative temperatures of the walls and fluid in computational cells. This post discusses how…
Combining multiple views of simulation results into a single animation is a commonly used technique during post-processing of Barracuda results. The MULTIFRAME.tcl script was written to make this task easier,…
The default Cygwin installation included with Barracuda VR includes a minimal set of packages to support the operation of GMV on Windows. For some tasks, it is necessary to install…
Known Issues main page Barracuda Virtual Reactor 17.0.3 Issues fixed in this version: KI-24: Liquid Collision Mass Transfer defaulted “on” KI-46: Project keyword “maxPresIter0” incorrectly defaulted to 0 KI-47: Volume-average…
Known Issues main page Barracuda Virtual Reactor 17.0.2 Issues fixed in this version: KI-11: Discrete Chemistry will not turn On when using ramp KI-12: Chemistry cannot be toggled “On” at…
Many cyclones have been run successfully with the Barracuda Virtual Reactor. However cyclones, and other swirl devices, present unique numerical and modeling challenges, which can be different from those in…
Known Issues main page Barracuda Virtual Reactor 17.0.1 Issues fixed in this version: KI-16: Defining a Flow BC with no Flux Plane Name causes the BC to ignore transient (.sff)…
Known Issues main page Barracuda Virtual Reactor 17.0.0 Issues affecting this version: KI-1: Particle Drag is not calculated for pure liquid particles when simulation has no solid materials KI-2: 2D…
Particle-to-wall interaction parameters are specified in the Barracuda Virtual Reactor GUI on the Particles window. The values of these three parameters – normal-to-wall momentum retention, tangent-to-wall momentum retention, and diffuse bounce – can have…
