Competing forces in liquid metal electrodes and batteries
Rakan F. Ashour, Douglas H. Kelley, Alejandro Salas +3
Liquid metal batteries are proposed for low-cost grid scale energy storage. During their operation, solid intermetallic phases often form in the cathode and are known to limit the…
Steady state detection for computational fluid dynamics
Martin Boesler, Norbert Weber
Large parameter studies of fluid dynamic instabilities can crucially be simplified, if the user does not need to specify the simulation time. For this purpose, a steady state detec…
Coupling and stability of interfacial waves in liquid metal batteries
Gerrit Maik Horstmann, Norbert Weber, Tom Weier
We investigate the interfacial wave coupling dynamics in liquid metal batteries and their effects to the battery's operation safety. Similar to aluminum reduction cells, liquid met…
Electro-vortex flow simulation using coupled meshes
Norbert Weber, Pascal Beckstein, Vladimir Galindo +2
A numerical model for simulating electro-vortical flows in OpenFOAM is developed. Electric potential and current are solved in coupled solid-liquid conductors by a parent-child mes…
