File size: 444 MBThe latest CPFD breakthrough, Barracuda Virtual Reactor® or Barracuda VR® continues to be the only software of its kind, built exclusively for one single application: Gas-Particle fluidized reactors.

The Barracuda VR software package includes all our models and features, and its unique capabilities have been well validated with both large-scale experimental data and with commercial operating reactors across broad industries.

What is Barracuda VR ?A physics-based engineering software package capable of predicting all fluid, particulate-solid, thermal and chemically reacting behavior inside a fluidized reactor in order to maximize its productivity and reliability.
