CD-adapco Joins PSRI Consortium

CD-adapco, a provider of CAE software focused on CFD (computational fluid dynamics), has joined the consortium known as Particulate Solid Research Inc. (PSRI). As part of this organization, CD-adapco will provide engineering simulation tools for analyzing particle flow.

In return, members of PSRI will offer expertise and experiences in particle flow analysis to help other chemical and refining industry organizations advance the understanding of flow modeling solutions. The consortium has already amassed a large amount of design data on aspects of fluidization, entrainment, pneumatic conveying, attrition, distributor design, solids transfer and circulating fluidized beds.

“We are excited about our new relationship with CD-adapco, as they have the tools for us to better understand how particles interact with fluid and with each other,” said Dr. Ray Cocco, president and CEO of PSRI. “It will provide us with the fundamental physics needed for commercial applications.”
