Thermal Simulation of Li-Ion Battery
Pack Using ANSYS Fluent
Mann P. Parmar, Deep R. Patel, Vivek K. Patel, and Rajesh S. Patel
Abstract World is facing many problems with the current sources of energy such
as petroleum and coal. Li-ion battery is the most suitable clean and green alternative to fossil fuels. However, major issues with Li-ion batteries are temperature
non-uniformity and a higher rate of heat generation. Efficient and optimized cooling
system can be only designed after having the knowledge of temperature and heat
generation throughout the battery. In this paper, we have presented the simulation
results of three different types of Li-ion battery packs using Ansys Fluent which indicates the profile of total heat generation, ohmic heat generation, and static temperature
of the battery pack.
Keywords Li-ion battery · Ohmic heat generation · Total heat generation · Static

1 Introduction
Energy is the world’s primary need in the machine era. One could not think of life
without energy. As per studies done by world-leading companies, the world will face
shorthand in current sources of energy such as petroleum and coal in a few years.
Global warming is another issue that the world is currently facing due to the constant
burning of fossil fuels. Batteries are the good alternative as; it has applications in
