Abstract

Lithium-ion batteries need effective thermal management to avoid safety risks like thermal runaway. This study analyzes and optimizes a liquid cooling system. Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS) using a branching mini-channel cold plate design for eight Li-ion 18650 batteries. A Computational Fluid Dynamics model was developed to simulate performance at a 2C discharge rate with configurations of 3 (N3), 5 (N5), and 7 (N7) branches. The results, validated against experimental data, showed that all configurations kept maximum temperatures below 37°C and maintained temperature uniformity (ΔT) below 5°C. Increasing branches reduced pressure drop, with the N7 design showing the lowest ΔP of 5.16 Pa. Although it had a lower heat transfer coefficient, N7 achieved the highest J/F factor, indicating optimal thermo-hydraulic performance for liquid-cooled battery systems.

Abstract

The growing need for renewable energy has driven significant interest in harnessing ocean wave power, particularly through Oscillating Wave Surge Converters (OWSCs). This study focuses on examining the effect of flap width on the hydrodynamic capacity of an OWSC, as flap geometry plays a crucial role in energy capture efficiency. A numerical methodology utilizing the Boundary Element Method (BEM) was employed to assess hydrodynamic parameters across both temporal and frequency domains. Five flap width variations were tested under regular wave conditions with different periods, while mesh independence and validation against experimental data ensured accuracy. The results in the time domain revealed a direct correlation between flap width and angular deviation, velocity, torque, and power output, although wider flaps exhibited less stability due to increased inertia. Frequency domain analysis indicated that each flap width had a distinct resonant peak, with narrower flaps performing best at shorter periods and wider flaps at longer ones. Notably, moderately sized flaps (W2 and W3) achieved the highest efficiency, with Capture Width Ratios exceeding 70%, outperforming wider flaps despite their larger surface area. These findings highlight the importance of optimized flap width for efficient and reliable OWSC design.

Abstract

An efficient thermal reduction system is crucial for ensuring the optimal performance and safety of Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries, notably by maintaining uniform temperature distribution and minimizing the risk of thermal runaway. This study presents a numerical investigation of the thermal behaviour of a liquid-cooled system for a cylindrical Li-ion 42110 battery pack, focusing on the influence of varying cold-plate spacing. Three cold plate configurations with spacing ratios r = 0.78, r = 0.33, and r = 0 were examined, with r = 0.78 corresponding to the most significant separation. The simulation employed a Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) model to resolve fluid flow and energy transport, and the heat-generation profile was derived from experimental data. The results show that all cooling configurations substantially reduced the maximum temperature relative to the uncooled case, with the widest spacing (r = 0.78) achieving the most significant average reduction of 19.736%. However, designs with smaller spacing exhibited slightly higher temperatures and reduced uniformity, particularly near the positive pole, where heat concentration is more pronounced. The temperature deviation remained within the acceptable 2% threshold. These findings highlight not only the thermal effectiveness of each spacing ratio but also its design implications, demonstrating that spacing plays a critical role in controlling peak temperature and maintaining uniformity. Overall, the study emphasizes that strategic cold-plate spacing is essential for reliable, efficient, and thermally stable battery operation in EV applications.

Abstract

With the growing demand for energy and the need to transition to renewable sources, ocean wave energy presents great potential. The Oscillating Wave Surge Converter (OWSC) is a promising technology due to its nearshore applicability, structural simplicity, and robust design. This study systematically investigates the effect of flap thickness on the dynamic performance of a hinge-mounted OWSC using the Boundary Element Method (BEM).   The research models the hydrodynamic interactions and analyzes the effects of three different flap thicknesses on key metrics, including maximum angle deviation, angular velocity, torque, and power capture. The results indicate that all flap variations demonstrate stable oscillatory movement, but greater flap thickness reduces the maximum angle deviation due to increased inertia and hydrostatic pressure. A resonant peak was observed for all thicknesses at a wave period of 1.3 seconds, where energy transfer was maximized. At this frequency, the thickest flap achieved the highest efficiency (78.94%), followed by the intermediate (77.50%) and thinnest (70.77%) variations. The findings suggest that while flap thickness influences efficiency, the primary factor for maximizing energy capture is the alignment of the wave period with the device's natural frequency.

Abstract

Jet flow is a crucial fluid dynamic phenomenon that has been extensively studied. It is essential for various industrial applications, including surface cleaning, flow control, and cooling electronic components.  Offset jet is an innovation in jet flow configuration that offers advantages in flow pattern control by expanding the impingement area and regulating surface pressure distribution. This study employed a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approach to investigate the influence of variations in the offset jet ratio on the aerodynamic characteristics of the flow, specifically the impingement zone area, pressure coefficient distribution, and skin friction coefficient. The standard k-ε turbulence model, utilizing a structured mesh and a Reynolds number of 10,000, was employed in this research. The number of mesh elements used was a fine mesh of 200,000 with an error percentage of 0.09436%. The results of the study show that an offset ratio of 3 produces the highest cf value of 0.0047 and a stable Cp distribution of 0.218, while also providing the best impingement zone area. These findings indicate that OR 3 is the most optimal configuration in terms of aerodynamics for precision system applications, with a focus on flow pattern control and wide impingement zone coverage.

Abstract

Piping systems provide effective fluid distribution and are crucial to industrial operations. Despite their effectiveness, flow control devices like orifice plates can result in significant pressure drop that can lower system efficiency and wear out the system’s mechanical components. This study aims to optimize orifice plate design by examining the effect of plate thickness on flow characteristics using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Simulations were conducted on orifice plates with thicknesses ranging from 1.5T to 3.0T under Reynolds numbers from 10⁴ to 10⁶. Results show that increasing the thickness reduces pressure loss, with the 3T configuration achieving a 1.35% reduction compared to the baseline. Improvements are linked to a higher discharge coefficient (Cd), shorter flow reattachment distance (Xr), smaller recirculation zones, and reduced velocity through the orifice throat. These findings suggest that geometric modifications can enhance flow performance and reduce the risk of mechanical damage in piping systems.

Abstract

Pengelolaan energi termal yang esensial sangat penting bagi performa optimal, keamanan, dan umur pakai baterai lithium-ion (Li-ion), yang menghasilkan panas cukup besar selama operasi. Suhu berlebih dapat menyebabkan degradasi kapasitas dan thermal runaway. Studi ini secara numerik menyelidiki kinerja termal dari sistem pendingin cair yang menggunakan mini-channel cold plate untuk sebuah modul yang terdiri dari delapan baterai Li-ion tipe 18650. Tujuan utama penelitian ini adalah mengevaluasi pengaruh variasi laju alir massa pendingin (air) terhadap temperatur maksimum baterai (TMAX) dan keseragaman temperatur (ΔT). Model computational fluid dynamics (CFD) yang telah divalidasi dengan data eksperimen digunakan dalam analisis ini. Tiga variasi laju alir massa disimulasikan, yaitu 0,0005 kg/s, 0,0015 kg/s, dan 0,0025 kg/s. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa sistem yang diusulkan memiliki efisiensi tinggi, mampu menjaga TMAX baterai di bawah 26,5 °C pada semua konfigurasi, dengan penurunan lebih dari 49% dibandingkan kondisi tanpa pendinginan, di mana suhu mencapai 52 °C. Laju alir massa tertinggi (0,0025 kg/s) memberikan kinerja terbaik, dengan TMAX terendah sebesar 25,83 °C serta rata-rata penurunan temperatur tertinggi sebesar 50,5%. Selain itu, konfigurasi ini juga memberikan keseragaman termal yang lebih baik dan berhasil menjaga perbedaan temperatur internal setiap sel tetap di bawah ambang kritis 5 °C. Temperatur maksimum yang dicapai dengan sistem pendingin cair ini menunjukkan bahwa sistem tidak hanya mampu mencegah thermal runaway tetapi juga berkontribusi dalam memperpanjang siklus hidup dan daya tahan baterai. Sistem pendingin ini membantu meminimalkan mekanisme degradasi termal yang umumnya mempercepat penuaan baterai.

Abstract

The topic of airfoil modification and its impact on aerodynamic performance is a highly debated issue in aerospace engineering circles. This study examines the effect of the NACA 4415 bio-inspired nose airfoil on its aerodynamic performance by adding spinner dolphin and roughtoothed dolphin geometries to the leading edge using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method at a Reynolds number of Re = 106. Simulations were conducted to analyze changes in the lift coefficient (Cl), drag coefficient (Cd), and moment coefficient (Cm), which serve as indicators of aerodynamic performance and stability. The results show that the baseline NACA 4415 airfoil produces the highest lift and the lowest drag overall, making it suitable for applications requiring maximum lift and minimum drag. Spinner dolphins has a smaller percentage increase in Cd, at 41.933%, compared to the baseline. In contrast, roughtoothed dolphins with an average percentage of 56.004% compared to the baseline exhibit a higher percentage increase in Cd. Conversely, in the Cl data, the percentage decreased in   dolphins has a larger average, namely -14.607%, compared to the baseline, whereas the spinner dolphin type only has an average of -8.713%. In the Cm data, the Roughtoothed Dolphin and Spinner Dolphin have higher and more stable Cm than NACA 4415. This study confirms that bio-inspired modifications can significantly impact aerodynamic performance, depending on operating conditions.

Abstract

Centrifugal pumps are the most commonly utilized in industries, agriculture, and households. In the microbubble generator, the centrifugal pump is driven by a DC motor for efficiency. This research was conducted to determine the optimal centrifugal pump design for microbubble generators using 3D-printed PLA material. The pump drive uses a brushless DC motor. With impeller dimensions r1=16mm, r2=26mm, beta1=46.8, beta2=62.8, and number of blades = 8, the resulting head is 2m at a constant operational current of 3A and a flowrate of 0 L/m. The same operational current input yields a maximum flow rate of 14 L/min with a head of 0.5 m. Maximum head exists when there is no liquid on the outlet side. At current >= 6.5A, there is a deviation from the previously formed trend. The input power of 58W is generated when the maximum flow rate is 25L/m. Maximum efficiency can be achieved as the input current increases to <= 6.5A and 18L/m. At conditions >= 6.5A, efficiency decreases drastically as the input current increases. This centrifugal pump design can work optimally at a constant input current of 6.5A with an input power 58W for the microbubble generator.

Abstract

Improving the airfoil aerodynamics is quite an essential aspect of the aviation industry. One method for improving airfoil aerodynamics involves applying passive flow control techniques. The effect of using the gurney flap as passive flow control was explored through the CFD approach with the RANS control equation and incorporating k-epsilon as a turbulence model. The airfoil model utilized in this study was the NACA 0015 airfoil operating at a Reynolds number of 1×106. This study explored three different mounting angles of the gurney flap, namely 45°, 60°, and 90°. The outcomes show that adding the gurney flap has positive results in increasing the lift and drag of the NACA 0015. An airfoil with a mounting angle flap of 45° has an average percentage increase in Cl of 23%, followed by a mounting angle flap of 60°, which is 28%, and a percentage Cl of 45% for a mounting angle flap of 90°. Meanwhile, Gurney flaps with a mounting angle of 45° can increase Cd by an average percentage of 3%, while mounting angle flap at 60° increases the Cd percentage by 4% and 5% for a mounting angle of 90°. Moreover, fluid flow visualization with pressure and velocity contours was given at AoA 10º to determine its effect on increasing lift and drag on the NACA 0015 airfoil.
