A Rougher Cold Plate Still Spread Battery Heat Better
A topology-shaped channel model improved thermal uniformity by more than ten percent at high discharge rates.
Summary
A topology-shaped channel model improved thermal uniformity by more than ten percent at high discharge rates.
A simulation incorporating measured additive-manufacturing roughness found a nonuniform layered cold plate outperformed planar designs; prediction error stayed below seven percent. The work is a coupled numerical assessment, not a vehicle test.
Why it matters
A topology-shaped channel model improved thermal uniformity by more than ten percent at high discharge rates.
Limits and context
- The work is a coupled numerical assessment, not a vehicle test.
