Abstract

The application discloses a method and system for modeling and simulating thermal runaway of an immersed liquid-cooled battery, and belongs to the technical field of battery thermal management. The method comprises the following steps: constructing a three-section battery cell heat generation model considering the backflow effect of the working medium; the three-section battery cell heat generation model divides the whole process of the battery thermal runaway into three stages, namely, the internal chain side reaction dominant heating period, the valve opening injection and backflow interference period, and the residual decay period after backflow, and the heat generation rate of each stage is calculated respectively; a battery-working medium coupled multiphase flow heat transfer model in an immersed environment is constructed to simulate the three-dimensional, transient and multiphase flow heat transfer process between the thermal runaway battery and the surrounding cooling medium; and the three-section battery cell heat generation model and the battery-working medium coupled multiphase flow heat transfer model are dynamically coupled through the fluid-solid conjugate heat transfer method to perform the thermal runaway simulation. The application can accurately describe the unique physical process of the thermal runaway in the immersed environment, and significantly improves the simulation accuracy.
