This presentation by Ray Fletcher provides an overview of both stable and unstable forms of afterburn, and shows how the Barracuda Virtual Reactor is used to troubleshoot afterburn issues in FCC regenerators.

This presentation by Ray Cocco discusses validation with relevant experimental data as an important and necessary process with any modeling effort for applications with scale up.

This presentation by Peter J. O’Rourke discusses the history of the MP-PIC method which is traced from its origins in spray modeling to recent modifications that include sub-models for important particle-particle effects. MP-PIC is compared with other methodologies for simulating dense particulate two-phase flows.

This presentation by Andrew Fry discusses pilot-scale facilities at the University of Utah and the integration of Barracuda simulations with ongoing experiments.

This presentation by Bruce Adkins, Neeti Kapur, James Parker, Peter Blaser, and John Pendergrass reports KiOR’s progress and learnings in developing a Catalytic Fast Pyrolysis (CFP) process for producing transportation fuels from biomass and shares some pointers about quality of lab experiments and future plans.

This presentation by James M. Parker highlights ongoing work to develop and improve drag force correlations used to model the fluidization of real particle systems.

This presentation by Ray Fletcher is part one of a two-part presentation that explores how to extract key data from Barracuda Virtual Reactor simulation results.
