I’ve come to value the efficiency and agility of Barracuda Virtual Reactor in simulating reactive fluidised bed reactors, particularly those with large concentration of solid particles and substantial dimensions. The software’s parallel GPU capability seamlessly integrates with our university’s High-Performance Computing (HPC) network, significantly accelerating simulation times. Furthermore, its real-time result visualisation enabled us to monitor simulations as they run and troubleshoot any issues, without impacting performance.

Scaling up processes using the similitude principle demands meticulous adjustment of design parameters across different scales to ensure consistency. Leveraging Barracuda Virtual Reactor, we’ve successfully simulated and fine-tuned larger reactor sizes for SE-SR of methane, effectively applying the similitude principle and bypassing the need for extensive physical experimentation and adjustment of reactor dimensions. The tremendous support from the CPFD support team has played a pivotal role in conducting our research. Their prompt responsiveness and adept problem-solving, irrespective of location and time differences, have been exceptional, ensuring that our research progresses smoothly.
