The Barracuda v14 simulation software (photo) offers 3-D modeling of chemical, thermal and flow dynamics in gas-solid and liquid-solid systems. The latest release includes a new chemistry module for modeling homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions inside fluidized bed reactors. It also is designed to model the release of an entrapped gas or liquid within a solid. Other features of the software include a liquid injection module that simulates liquid spray coating of particles, and a wear model that allows wall wear to be reported on a yearly basis. Barracuda is capable of modeling fluid-catalytic-cracking reactors, circulating-fluidized-bed burners in coal plants, gasification reactors and others in laboratory, pilot and production scale. — CPFD Software LLC, Albuquerque, N.M.
