The process of coupling TAITherm to a CFD solver is common for many automotive applications. With OpenFOAM-based CFD solvers becoming more customary across the industry, TAI has developed a fully integrated solution to couple these tools. By using CoTherm, these platforms are coupled seamlessly, offering OpenFOAM processes within CoTherm’s usable interface.

EV Modeling Capabilities of TAITherm Webinar

Zachary Edel, Ph.D.

As OEMs are electrifying their vehicle fleets, electrical component modeling is becoming increasingly critical to the design of electric vehicles and variations of the hybrid electric vehicle (xEV). Vehicle range and cabin comfort are closely related in xEVs because the energy required to heat and cool the cabin comes from the battery pack. When modeling the additional loads on the battery pack, it is important to consider battery thermal management strategies to maintain the pack in an optimal operating range, especially for adverse thermal conditions in both hot and cold environments.

The relationship between vehicle range and occupant comfort is an important consideration for EVs. Effective HVAC controllers are critical for maintaining the optimum occupant comfort while preserving vehicle range. Maintaining occupant comfort is more challenging for commercial vehicles; where the vehicle is large and has many occupancy configurations. In this webinar, you will learn how to accurately simulate this tradeoff using a coupled transient simulation with TAITherm and GT-SUITE.
