The key element of an electric vehicle (EV) is the battery and batteries are known to produce heat during their charge-discharge cycle. An efficient thermal management system (TMS) is of paramount importance. The battery TMS affects cost, life and range of the EV. A battery TMS study or an EV TMS study involves the use of thermal and fluid physics and Altair’s AcuSolve (Computational Fluid Dynamics based Simulation Technology), was used to carry out this study. The importance of finding new methods for effectively and accurately designing TMS that control temperature and optimize the performance of Li-ion batteries. This can be used to study and optimize the Battery Thermal Management System and other Thermal Management requirements arising in an electric vehicle which involves both active and passive cooling. A similar issue of heat (unwanted) exists in Motors as well, in this we shall cover the Multi-physics simulation of Motors which shall include both electro-magnetics and CFD Thermal studies of both air and liquid coolant motors.
