Description

MFiX, which stands for Multiphase Flow with Interphase eXchanges, serves as an open-source solver designed for multiphase flow and is recognized as NETL’s primary suite of computational fluid dynamics tools for simulating reacting multiphase flows. It has established itself as a benchmark for the comparison, implementation, and assessment of constitutive models in multiphase flow scenarios and has been utilized across a wide variety of multiphase flow devices and industrial applications. Offering various modeling techniques, MFiX includes the Two-Fluid Model, Discrete Element Model, Coarse-Grained Particle DEM, Superquadric Particle DEM, Glued-Sphere Particle DEM, Particle-in-Cell model, hybrid approaches, and a dedicated single-phase solver tailored for granular flows. These advanced models enable the simulation of numerous systems such as gasifiers, circulating fluidized bed combustors, fluidized beds, fluid catalytic crackers, and chemical looping combustion systems, addressing complex interactions involving hydrodynamics, heat transfer, species transport, and various chemical reactions. As a result, MFiX contributes significantly to the understanding and optimization of these intricate processes in both research and industrial settings.

Description

RecurDyn is a versatile engineering software that specializes in simulating Multi-Body Dynamics across various disciplines. By integrating traditional rigid multibody dynamics with advanced finite element methods, it effectively models both rigid and flexible bodies, a process termed Multi Flexible Body Dynamics. This software is adept at analyzing the dynamic performance of mechanical systems that involve motion, incorporating elements such as joints, constraints, contact points, flexible components, and complex interactions among parts. Its sophisticated solver technology adeptly tackles the differential algebraic equations that govern multibody systems, merging motion equations with algebraic expressions for joint constraints. Furthermore, RecurDyn offers a comprehensive modeling environment tailored for MBD, featuring rapid solvers, extensive post-processing capabilities, animation tools, and graphing functions to assess the motion, loads, stresses, deformation, and overall efficiency of mechanical assemblies. Additionally, the software's user-friendly interface allows engineers to visualize and optimize their designs effectively.
