Numerical Simulation of Batteries, Fuel Cells and Electrolysers with OpenFOAM

The talk will give an overview on the numerical simulation of liquid metal batteries, polymer electrolyte fuel cells and electrolysers. After a brief introduction to liquid metal batteries, different exemplary simulations will be presented - with a focus on the interaction of fluid flow and electrochemistry. The presentation will be limited to the continuum mechanical open-source finite-volume library OpenFOAM.
