Barracuda VR 16.0.2 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…
The default animation utility in Linux (xanim) is very convenient for viewing animations. In particular, it lets you step forward and backward through the animation, frame-by-frame, which can be very…
This evaporation model is now considered out-of-date. Original title of this post: Can I model water evaporation from particles in the Barracuda VR 15/16-series 2014 update: Evaporation Model for Droplets…
A full Barracuda VR user guide is now available. The User Manual is complete for Barracuda VR Series 15 and can be accessed from the help menu in Barracuda 15.2.3…
CPFD Software generally recommends testing chemical reactions and rates in a single-cell model before implementing in a full scale model. What do we mean by a single-cell chemistry test? There…
This open-ended question comes up a lot. There are multiple approaches that could be used, depending on the purpose of the simulation. This post explores several options for modeling fluidization…

Barracuda can export a large amount of data to text files that can be further analyzed to gain additional insight into the performance of a model. For example, particle snap…
For a system with a mixture of reacting gases, the user has a decision whether to initialize the system with an inert gas (frequently, nitrogen), which will be displaced upon…
