CFD Simulation Data for Lithium-ion Battery Pack Thermal Management

Numerical simulation results for thermal management in a 16-cell lithium-ion battery pack using phase change material (PCM) and air cooling. The dataset includes time-dependent temperature variation, outlet temperature profiles, and liquid fraction of PCM for different geometric configurations under varying air velocities. Simulations were performed using ANSYS Fluent by RACHIT CHAUHAN and last updated on 2026-04 21.

Use Cases

• Validate CFD models for battery thermal management based on time-dependent temperature variation data.
• Compare cooling performance of PCM versus air cooling based on outlet temperature profiles.
• Analyze the effect of geometric configuration on thermal behavior based on the provided layout codes (4444, 4543, etc.).
• Study the impact of air velocity on PCM melting and solidification based on liquid fraction data.

Strengths

• Data includes results for four distinct geometric configurations (4444, 4543, 5434, 54322).
• Simulations cover two specific air velocities (1 m/s and 1.5 m/s).
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Dataset is very small (30.6 KB), indicating limited scope.
