The Multi-Phase Particle-in-Cell Method (MP-PIC): History and Recent Developments
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.
Validation of Hydrodynamics and Reaction Chemistry in Pilot-Scale Fluidized Bed Combustors and Gasifiers
This presentation by Andrew Fry discusses pilot-scale facilities at the University of Utah and the integration of Barracuda simulations with ongoing experiments.
KiOR Update: Incorporating Barracuda in our BFCC Development Process
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.
Improving Drag Correlations for Modeling of Real Particle Fluidization
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.
Hydrodynamics of High Velocity Circulating Fluidized Bed Risers
In this research the solids flux measurements showed the risers having different shapes of radial profiles. The net solids flow direction at all radial locations was found to be upward for the conditions used in this study.
CPFD Software Supports 2015 AIChE Annual Meeting
CPFD Software is continuing its tradition of sponsoring the Particle Technology Forum (PTF) dinner. Look for members of the engineering team at the PTF dinner on Wednesday, November 11. We…
MP-PIC, which is the foundation for the numerics in Barracuda Virtual Reactor, is the best numerical methodology currently available for computer simulation of the dense particulate flows in practical systems.
