Battery Thermal Runaway with Venting and CFD Coupling Webinar

Thursday, June 20, 2024 | 9:00 - 10:00 AM EDT

Join us on Thursday, June 20, 2024, at 9 am EDT as we demonstrate how transient battery thermal runaway simulations that include internal heat generation, cell venting, and hot gas impingement can be achieved using TAITherm™, CoTherm™, and Star-CCM+.

In this live webinar, we discuss:

• Predicting physical battery temperatures with TAITherm™, our state-of-the-art simulation tool, coupled with Star-CCM+ using CoTherm™ to include the effects of cell venting and hot gas impingement.
• How different internal cell heating models can be used and calibrated to test data.
• Intra- and Inter-cell propagation rate validations.
• A case study showing coupled thermal-CFD simulations, used to evaluate pack/module design.
• A reduced-order fluid node approach to approximate CFD cell venting boundary conditions.
• Internal pressure equations, implemented in TAITherm™, to predict when a cell starts venting, fluid flow rates, and venting time.
