Tracers can be used to track fluid flow and fluid residence time in a simulation. Tracers are Lagrangian entities that do not have any mass or volume, and they follow the fluid flow path. They can be injected at a Pressure, Flow, or Injection BC, and they can pass through BC Connectors in order to fully follow the fluid…
In some Barracuda Virtual Reactor simulations, it is useful to dynamically and automatically control flow rates, pressures, temperature, or other parameters at boundary conditions (BCs) based on information from data points, flux planes, or other output files. It is possible to achieve such control of BCs by using a script…
In many Barracuda simulations there is a particle feed of some kind. Most commonly this will be at a Flow or Injection BC. It is important to monitor a particle feed to ensure that it is meeting the expected flow rate. A few things are important to be able to monitor feed flow rates: Specify a Flux plane name for all…
Randomness in Barracuda Simulations in Barracuda Virtual Reactor often necessitate modelling the interactions of millions, if not billions, of particles while simultaneously accounting for fluid dynamics, chemistry, and thermal calculations. The computational load to model each of these particles discretely would be…
Freeform optical elements give optical designers new and exciting degrees of freedom when it comes to designing optics for illumination applications. These same freeform elements can also add a new layer of complexity to the design process due to added degrees of freedom. This dramatically increases the number of possible…
TIR stands for Total Internal Reflection. TIR is the guiding principle of fiber optics, light guides, and light pipes. Total internal reflection means that light rays that meet certain conditions are reflected inside of a light guide with no loss in flux or power. This is great when transmitting light from one point to…
