This course offers a hands-on introduction to modeling the multi-physics problems of battery thermal runaway and thermal runaway propagation. We will discuss how you can model these complex phenomena in 3D using predictive, physics-based thermal runaway reaction mechanisms in CONVERGE. We will also discuss how such mechanisms can be calibrated against or generated from experimental calorimetry data. Furthermore, we will explore: How vent gas generation is coupled with the calibrated thermal runaway mechanisms Modeling of battery vent gas ignition and combustion Inclusion of solid particle ejecta for hot-spot ignition Flammability assessment Battery pack swelling during thermal runaway using FEA coupling PREREQUISITES Introduction to CONVERGE (or equivalent introductory CONVERGE training course)
