Numerical simulation study of thermal runaway jet fire characteristics of forced air-cooled cylindrical battery module by Xiantong Wu, Yanxin Hu, Tingting Wu, Ziqi Zhuo, Huihe Qiu, Yishun Zhu, Xingyu Li, Run Tang

“…To elucidate the spread characteristics of the thermal runaway jet flame in the forced-air-cooled 18650 battery module, a three-dimensional thermal runaway jet fire model is constructed. The process of thermal runaway jet gas passing through the safety valve is modeled as isentropic flow, with the velocity inlet boundary applied to the safety valve of the battery. …”
