Kislaya Srivastava, Senior Research Engineer 
Convergent Science

In this webinar, we will discuss the 3D modeling capabilities 
available in CONVERGE CFD software for battery applications. 
We will showcase coupled fluid-solid conjugate heat transfer 
(CHT) solutions to study battery thermal management. These 
CHT simulations can incorporate a wide array of battery 
models, from simplistic equivalent circuit and localized 
short-circuit models to more detailed electric potential 
solutions with electrochemistry. By coupling the SAGE 
detailed chemistry solver with battery simulations, we will 
model the complex problem of battery thermal runaway and 
associated vent gas generation. Finally, we will present 
modeling approaches for other relevant physics, including 
Lagrangian particle modeling for battery vent ejecta, 
solidification/melting models for phase-change materials, and 
fluid-structure interaction modeling for battery swelling via 
coupled simulations with the Abaqus FEA solver.
