Project Goals
This project aims to address (i) the experimental characterization of the reactive flow (combustion) during a thermal runaway process under different SoC and aging of the batteries as well as (ii) the numerical simulation of the reactive flow during the venting process using reactor-based, flamelet approaches and advanced ML-based models for the reaction kinetics.
