CPFD Software 2025 Q3 Newsletter

CPFD Software Newsletter - Q3 2025 Dear Reader, As 2025 continues to unfold, CPFD Software remains focused on empowering engineers and innovators around the globe. From advancing foundry core-making with Arena-flow to tackling complex multiphase challenges with Barracuda Virtual Reactor, our technology is shaping real-world solutions. This issue brings you the latest resources, application models, and customer stories, plus opportunities to connect with us at upcoming events.   Application Models Application models are ready-to-run Barracuda Virtual Reactor projects that demonstrate industrially relevant processes. They allow users to quickly explore simulation setups, validate approaches, and build confidence in applying Barracuda to their own systems. Explore recently added models and related resources: Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustor Proppant Transport in Hydraulic Fractures Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) Shaft Furnace for Steel Production Cement Plant Conditioning Tower Application Model Webinar Series   To help the community get the most value from these resources, CPFD Software has launched the Barracuda Application Model Webinar Series. Each session spotlights a specific application model, walking through the engineering background, simulation setup, and insights gained from the results. Our first session focuses on the Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustor (CFBC) application model, a digital twin of a lab-scale CFB riser. This model captures the dense, transition, and dilute zones of the riser, helping engineers explore efficiency and emissions in a cornerstone clean energy technology.   Webinar Details 📅 Date: September 30, 2025 🕚 Time: 10:00 AM CDT 🎙️ Speaker: Dr. Shashank Karra Register Now Customer Stories   Our customers worldwide are driving innovation in energy, manufacturing, and beyond. Here are two recent highlights: Fondrémy, together with Leampe Reich, transformed a challenging water pump housing project into a repeatable, high-yield operation. Arena-flow simulation was used to optimize core shooting and gassing, cut tooling iterations by 75%, and improve manufacturability. Read more… Lawrence Wang and Shaanxi Xinli have replaced lab tests and 2D design methods with Barracuda Virtual Reactor simulation. Key functions include diagnosing nozzle status, optimizing internal structure/outlet size, reducing pressure fluctuations, and determining optimal O₂ ratio and slurry load.  Read more… Upcoming Events Stay connected with CPFD Software at upcoming events worldwide.
