CD-adapco, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) focused provider of computer aided engineering (CAE) software, has won the Solid State Electrochemistry Workshop 2013 award for its study of a porous electrode within a lithium-ion battery.
The awards, held at Heidelberg University, are part of a workshop that addresses mathematical modeling and numerical methods in electrochemical systems as well as latest advances in experimental techniques and relevant materials.
The work simulated electrochemical behavior of a porous electrode using a computer aided engineering product called STAR-CCM+. This allows electrochemists to study porous electrodes in a simulated way, to understand and advance the future of designing electrodes.
