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…
Fluid Mechanics of Liquid Metal Batteries
Douglas H. Kelley, Tom Weier
The design and performance of liquid metal batteries, a new technology for grid-scale energy storage, depend on fluid mechanics because the battery electrodes and electrolytes are…
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…
The DRESDYN project: planned experiments and present status
Frank Stefani, Sven Eckert, Gunter Gerbeth +5
The Dresden sodium facility for dynamo and thermohydraulic studies (DRESDYN) is a platform for large-scale liquid sodium experiments devoted to fundamental geo- and astrophysical q…
