Look Inside the Battery with COMSOL Multiphysics®
Duration: 25:51
The key to designing high-performance, durable, and safe batteries is to first understand the battery technology and underlying physical processes. Modeling and simulation makes it possible to look inside the battery to understand its inner workings as well as to predict how it will perform under various operating conditions. In this archived webinar, we show the benefits of battery modeling at three design scales:
- Microscale
- Cell scale
- Pack scale
The presentation also includes a quick demonstration of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software platform, which provides a consistent user interface across all engineering fields. We also show an example of how to use modeling and simulation for selecting the best thermal management strategy for a battery pack.
