SUMMARY:tcbiomass Training: Fundamentals of Thermochemical Conversion of Biomass - August 24\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:This 1-day course\, directly before the tcbiomass+ conference\, reviews the fundamentals of biomass conversion. This fundamental course will provide background information on feedstock preparation\, gasification\, pyrolysis\, upgrading\, and technoeconomics taught by experts from around the world. It is designed to help those who are new to thermochemical biomass conversion gain a good understanding of the entire field. Since this course covers a wide range of thermochemical biomass conversion technology\, it can also be valuable for those who are knowledgeable in one biomass conversion area to learn about competitive biomass conversion technologies. It’s also helpful for students interested in potentially working in these growing industries. Investors can also gain insights into the technical basis and challenges of biomass and waste conversion. \nCPFD Software are honored to support GTI Energy and National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR\, formerly NREL) team with this training course  by providing a guest lecture on fluid bed modeling and solid mixing.

SUMMARY:Barracuda Application Model Webinar Series: Cement Calciner Decomposition Furnace - April 15\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:CPFD Software’s Barracuda Application Model Webinar Series is designed to give engineers and researchers deeper insight into how Barracuda Virtual Reactor is applied to real-world challenges. Application models are sample cases that can be downloaded\, run\, and customized by the Barracuda Virtual Reactor user community. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, we will present the Cement Calciner Decomposition Furnace Application Model\, which uses Barracuda Virtual Reactor to simulate an industrial-scale calciner based on published plant data from Zhu et al. (2024). The model captures the coupled gas–solid hydrodynamics\, coal combustion\, devolatilization\, and limestone calcination within a fully compressible\, reacting multiphase flow framework. Key industrial features are explicitly represented\, including kiln exhaust injection\, tertiary air staging\, multi-level raw meal feeding\, coal pneumatic injection\, and the riser-to-cyclone transition. \n\n\n\nJoin us to learn how this application model can help advance your understanding of subsurface transport and improve production outcomes.  Learn more and register today!

SUMMARY:APA: Introducing Arena-flow by CPFD - April 8\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:CPFD Software is thrilled to introduce Arena-flow to the Siemens APA. Arena-flow by CPFD is custom foundry software that simulates the blowing/shooting and curing of sand cores and molds. It is trusted by OEMs\, foundries\, core shops\, tooling providers\, and equipment suppliers to to complement metal flow and solidification software\, resulting in optimized processes and cores that are right the first time. Arena-flow replaces trial-and-error with virtual testing to capture\, retain\, and disseminate core making knowledge\, understand and eliminate core and core-quality-related casting scrap\, optimize cycle times\, minimize dosage\, increase uptime\, extend tool life\, reduce energy requirements\, and ultimately cut costs. APA-enabled Siemens customers can now enjoy instant-access to Arena-flow\, expanding Siemen’s modeling capabilities and directly complementing existing foundry digital tools.

SUMMARY:SPE-GCS CFD Group 2026 Annual Symposium - March 6\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Meet the CPFD Software team at the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Gulf Coast Section (GCS)’s Annual Symposium in Sugar Land\, TX\, on March 6\, 2026.  CPFD is honored to once again sponsor the symposium\, and our very own Saurav Mitra will speak on the topic of “AI-Accelerated Reduced-Order Modeling for Dense Gas/Liquid-Solid Flows Using Barracuda Virtual Reactor (MP-PIC): An Industrial Perspective”.  Contact us to pre-arrange a meeting at the event. \nAbout the Symposium:  Artificial Intelligence is transforming how we use computing power to solve complex problems. Incorporating AI tools within Physics Based Models is an emerging area which can enable the solution of so far unsolved problems in many application domains\, including energy industry. Machine learning has shown promising outlook to several challenging problems in CFD\, such as the identification and extraction of hidden features in large-scale flow computations\, finding undetected correlations between dynamical features of the flow\, and generating synthetic CFD datasets through high-fidelity simulations. These approaches are forming a paradigm shift to change the focus of CFD from time-consuming feature detection to in-depth examinations of such features and enabling deeper insight into the physics involved in complex natural processes. Machine learning has provided numerous opportunities to advance the field of CFD\, including to accelerate the computationally expensive direct numerical simulations\, to improve turbulence closure modeling and to develop enhanced reduced-order models. \nThis year’s annual symposium\, AI Accelerated Physics Based Modelling and its Role in Energy Industry\, is designed to stimulate CFD professional in industry and academia by providing a venue to exchange new ideas and discuss challenges and opportunities as well as expose this newly emerging field to energy industry. The purpose of this symposium is to provide comprehensive information and insights regarding the role of AI accelerated physics-based modelling in the energy industry. With a highly impressive agenda and a prestigious lineup of speakers from various sectors\, including the industry\, academia\, and software vendors\, this symposium offers a unique opportunity for experts to share their knowledge and experiences. \nThe agenda encompasses technical presentations covering a wide range of topics\, including but not limited to Scientific Machine Learning\, Reduced Order modelling\, Physics Based Digital Twin\, Multi-Scale Modelling\, Physics Informed Neural Network and Hybrid/Fusion Modelling. \n\n

SUMMARY:Barracuda Application Model Webinar Series: Direct Reduced Iron Shaft Furnace - February 11\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE 02-11-2026: Playback available now. \nCPFD Software’s Barracuda Application Model Webinar Series is designed to give engineers and researchers deeper insight into how Barracuda Virtual Reactor is applied to real-world challenges. Application models are sample cases that can be downloaded\, run\, and customized by the Barracuda Virtual Reactor user community. \n\n\n\nThis installment in the series will focus on the Direct Reduced Iron Shaft Furnace Application Model\, which provides a detailed digital twin of a full-scale DRI shaft furnace based on operating data from a commercial plant in Quebec\, Canada. The model captures key process zones\, including cooling\, reducing\, and transition regions\, using a moving bed framework with compressible flow\, volumetric and discrete reaction chemistry\, and user-defined reaction kinetics. Additionally\, CPFD will be sharing results from our work with Molten Industries in the development of a novel H₂-DRI shaft furnace. \n\n\n\nJoin us to learn how this application model can help advance your understanding of subsurface transport and improve production outcomes.
