Module Sim Investigation

Introduction

The module thermal sim investigation is an investigation to determine optimal sets of independent variables, or the relation of several output variables to input variables of a single battery pack module.

The geometry of the simulation fed into SimScale differs from the illustrative geometry shown above the model. The geometry has been halved, and the tail end of the flow region has been lengthened to allow for total resolution of fluid flow. This allows any air jets, vortices, convection zones, etc to combine, mix and homogenize.

The source of the geometry is a Solidworks assembly called [name] using design tables to generate configurations. Currently, all configurations have been generated, and to use one, one must only select the correct configuration, rebuild the geometry, and save the file.

To run the experiment, first:

1. Prepare a geometry

2. Import the geometry

3. Create a simulation for the geometry

4. Run a mesh independence study for the geometry at 1m/s

   1. (Optional) Run simulations with different air velocities using the coarsest level of mesh independent mesh

5. Take the average of the converged probe points and plot them

1. the spreadsheet

2. Repeat for a different geometry

Note: You will have to make multiple SimScale accounts. If you want to use the same email account for all of them, if you use gmail, you can add a “+” and text before the @ to reuse the same email. e.g. placeholder+1@gmail.com, placeholder+2@gmail.com, etc
