Combined electro-thermal analysis of Li-ion batteries applying the finite element method

Abstract

The performance of Li-ion batteries under variant operating conditions requires a highly developed battery management. In attaining this a very accurate knowledge of the temperature profile within the cells is of great importance. This contribution deals with the numerical approximation of the temperature behaviour as well as of the heat sources caused by the current flow inside the battery. Thereby a coupled electro-thermal finite element based computation scheme will be applied.

A modified characteristics projection finite element method for the non‐stationary incompressible thermally coupled MHD equations

“…Yang and Zhang [16] presented the convergence and stability of three iterative finite element methods for thermally coupled incompressible MHD on 2D/3D bounded regions. Other practical applications of the incompressible MHD equations and the thermally coupled incompressible MHD equations can be referred to previous works [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”
