When chemical reactions are being modelled in the Barracuda Virtual Reactor, it is sometimes important to consider and control where the heat from reactions goes. This post discusses the distribution…
Barracuda VR 16.0.8 Issues fixed in this version: KI-5: Solver crash when Blended Acceleration Model and GPU-mode used KI-6: Flux plane 5-step running average for particle mass flow rate is…
Barracuda simulations can be stopped using Interact, as long as GUI access is available. In some cases, GUI access is not available, so it is necessary to stop the simulation…
Restarting a simulation from the command-line can be useful when GUI access is not available, or when writing scripts that run the Barracuda solver. This post describes the steps necessary to…
Adding the current directory, also known as “.”, to your Linux systems PATH environment variable can make executing scripts more convenient. However, there are some security issues to consider as…
Barracuda VR 16.0.6 Issues affecting this version: KI-1: Particle Drag is not calculated for pure liquid particles when simulation has no solid materials KI-2: 2D data is missing output conversion…
In Barracuda VR, detailed Particle Size Distribution (PSD) information can be obtained from Raw Particle Data files. There are two ways to generate Raw Particle Data files: When setting up…
Evaporation and particle drying are used in Barracuda Virtual Reactor models for a variety of applications, such as: Coal and biomass gasifiers and combustors (particle drying) Flue gas desulfurization units…
This evaporation model is now considered out-of-date. Original title of this post: Evaporation Model for Droplets and Solid Particle Drying (Updated) 2024 update: Evaporation Model for Droplets and Solid Particle…
The issue of particle resolution for small particles is an important consideration that is often overlooked. In order to get adequate spatial resolution of particle positions, it is sometimes necessary…
