CPFD Software is proud to continue our longstanding support of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) Annual Meeting. This year’s AIChE Annual Meeting takes place November 8-12, 2026. CPFD Software is thrilled to once again sponsor the Particle Technology Forum (PTF) Student Poster Awards.
Additionally, CPFD will be presenting two talks at the conference:
Title: MP-PIC Modeling of and Graph Neural Network Surrogates for Dense, Non-Newtonian Granular Slurry Flows in Confined Geometries
Date: Monday, November 9, 2026
Time: 12:47 PM
Session: Fluidization: Modeling Approaches, Applications, and Fundamental Insights
Room: 200B
And:
Title: Multiphase Particle-In-Cell (MP-PIC) Modeling of TRISO Particle Production in a Spouted Bed Reactor
Date: Tuesday, November 10, 2026
Time: 8:54 AM
Session: Fluidization: Emerging Energy Applications and Experimental Studies
Room: 200B
Please contact us to arrange an in-person meeting at this year’s AIChE Annual Meeting or to learn more about getting started with Barracuda Virtual Reactor through our various commercial or academic programs. We look forward to seeing you at AIChE!
About AIChE Annual Meeting
The AIChE Annual Meeting is the premier educational forum for chemical engineers interested in innovation and professional growth. Academic and industry experts will cover a wide range of topics relevant to cutting-edge research, new technologies, and emerging growth areas in chemical engineering.
About CPFD Software
CPFD Software is advancing multiphase simulation and technology. Our flagship product, Barracuda Virtual Reactor®, is a physics-based engineering software package that simulates the three-dimensional, transient, fluid-particle hydrodynamics, heat balance, and chemical reactions in industrial fluidized bed reactors and other fluid-particle systems.
Virtual Reactor™ enables researchers and engineers working with fluid/particle processes to explore a broad range of ideas, reduce physical testing costs, and minimize development risk, all while accelerating commercialization, scale-up, and overall time to market. For clients who already operate industrial units, Virtual Reactor allows engineers to determine the root cause of underperformance, reduce the risk of changes through virtual testing, and optimize solutions, all while maximizing reliability, uptime, and regulatory compliance initiatives.
The Virtual Reactor technology can be accessed via software licensing, services, or custom collaborative arrangements.
