(Online) Battery Design in COMSOL Multiphysics® Course (3 Days)

If you are looking to learn how to model batteries using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, this is the course for you.

During this 3-day course, we will discuss the capabilities of the Battery Design Module for battery design and analysis. We will look into the underlying physics such as transport of species, charge balances, chemical and electrochemical reactions, Joule heating and thermal effects due to electrochemical reactions, heat transfer, fluid flow, and other physical phenomena that are important for understanding a battery system.

We will cover predefined battery interfaces with different complexity levels, including the detailed structures in a battery's porous electrode and the battery pack scale, including thermal management systems. You will learn how to study the influence of various design parameters, such as the choice of materials, dimensions, and the particle sizes of the active material. You will also learn how to incorporate various aging mechanisms into your model.

To teach this course, we use a combination of theoretical and practical lecture, demonstrations and self-guided hands-on training.
