An immersed interface Adaptive Mesh Refinement algorithm for Li-ion battery simulations. II. Multi-dimensional extension and separator modeling

What is it about?

This work addresses the prohibitive cost of multi-dimensional battery simulations, enabling their use in practical design. It uses a combination of hierarchical Adaptive Mesh Refinement, Cartesian immersed interface methods, and parallel computing techniques to provide a method that allows for rapid mesh generation and computationally efficient simulation. The work has enabled a numerical study which directly assesses how separator microstructure affects electrochemical performance.
