The present study aims to analyze a new type PHE—double chevron-type PHE with 3D CFD mode from their heat transfer characteristics and resistance characteristics, as well as their internal flow field and temperature field.
2 Simulation
Preprocessing, the primary step of the CFD simulation was done by ICEM CFD13.0.
The final step in CFD, the post-processing was carried out to refine the simulation data for visualizing the vector plots, contour plots and particle tracking.
The simulation was solved using RNG k–e turbulence model.
The simulations were carried in a Pentium 8 work station with 12 GB RAM.
Each simulation took approximately 37 h to converge with a criterion of 1×10-5.

In the present work, the commercial CFD code FLOW 3D™, has been used to simulate the mould filling and solidification during the LPC process.
Such variables can be easily optimized using simulation techniques.
The present study uses FLOW 3D™, which is a finite difference method (FDM) based commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code for analysing fluid flow and heat transfer occurring throughout the LPC process.
Initial and Boundary conditions The pressure sequence used for the simulation is depicted in Figure 1(b).
For solidification simulation only the energy equation is solved including phase change.

Keywords: power battery, temperature rise, internal resistance, simulation
Abstract.
By carrying out necessary experiments and using CFD simulation tool we get a better battery temperature rising curve and contour of internal temperature distribution under different operating conditions.
To adjust the internal heating rate according to the fitting curves above, the user-defined function (UDF) built in CFD simulation tool FLUENT can be activated to help.
TEMPERATURE RISING SMULATION By using CFD simulation tool FLUENT we simulate the battery transient heat transfer process and get a set of temperature profiles at the center of the battery under different discharge rates(1.0C, 2.0C, 4.0C) and heat dissipation conditions(h =5 W/m2·K, 15 W/m2·K, 30 W/m2·K), and suppose batteries are fully charged at initial state.
Variation trend of internal resistance is observed and implemented into simulation.

The CFD simulation serves for analysis of the fluid flow around the profile and to evaluate the results for the static and dynamic pressure values.
Then a two-way-FSI, the calculated results are continuously interchanged between the CFD and FEM analysis tools .
For the CFD analysis an incompressible, transient flow simulation was established using FLUENT, which is one of the major CFD solvers integrated in the ANSYS Workbench.
Accordingly, the necessary computing time is large compared to an conventional stationary CFD analysis.
To reduce computation times, the RANS (Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations) k-ε model was used in the CFD simulation.
