- ItemA modeling framework for efficient reduced order simulations of parametrized lithium-ion battery cells(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2021) Landstorfer, Manuel; Ohlberger, Mario; Rave, Stephan; Tacke, MarieIn this contribution we present a new modeling and simulation framework for parametrized Lithium-ion battery cells. We first derive a new continuum model for a rather general intercalation battery cell on the basis of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. In order to efficiently evaluate the resulting parameterized non-linear system of partial differential equations the reduced basis method is employed. The reduced basis method is a model order reduction technique on the basis of an incremental hierarchical approximate proper orthogonal decomposition approach and empirical operator interpolation. The modeling framework is particularly well suited to investigate and quantify degradation effects of battery cells. Several numerical experiments are given to demonstrate the scope and efficiency of the modeling framework.
- ItemNumerical study of coherence of optical feedback in semiconductor laser dynamics(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Radziunas, Mindaugas; Little, Douglas J.; Kane, Deborah M.The nonlinear dynamics of semiconductor laser with coherent, as compared to incoherent, delayed optical feedback systems have been discussed and contrasted in prior research literature. Here, we report simulations of how the dynamics change as the coherence of the optical feedback is systematically varied from being coherent to incoherent. An increasing rate of phase disturbance is used to vary the coherence. An edge emitting, 830nm, Fabry Perot semiconductor laser with a long external cavity is simulated. Following this study, consideration of prior and future experimental studies should include evaluation of where on the continuum of partial coherence the delayed optical feedback sits. Partial coherence is a parameter that will affect the dynamics.
- ItemA multi-mode delay differential equation model for lasers with optical feedback(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Radziunas, MindaugasIn this paper, we discuss the relations between the spatially-distributed traveling wave, Lang-Kobayashi, and a new multi-mode delay differential equation models for Fabry-Perot type semiconductor diode lasers with an external optical feedback. All these models govern the dynamics of the slowly varying complex amplitudes of the optical fields and carrier density. To compare the models, we calculate the cavity modes determined by the threshold carrier density and optical frequency of the steady states in all three models. These calculations show that the Lang-Kobayashi type model is in good agreement with the traveling wave model only for the small feedback regimes, whereas newly derived multi-mode delay differential equation model remains correct even at moderate and large optical feedback regimes.
- ItemA discussion of the reaction rate and the cell voltage of an intercalation electrode during discharge(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2018) Landstorfer, ManuelIn this work we discuss the modeling procedure and validation of a non-porous intercalation half-cell during galvanostatic discharge. The modeling is based on continuum thermodynamics with non-equilibrium processes in the active intercalation particle, the electrolyte, and the common interface where the intercalation reaction occurs. This yields balance equations for the transport of charge and intercalated lithium in the intercalation compound, a surface reaction rate at the interface, and transport equations in the electrolyte for the concentration of lithium ions and the electrostatic potential. An expression for the measured cell voltage is then rigorously derived for a half cell with metallic lithium as counter electrode. The model is then in detail investigated and discussed in terms of scalings of the non-equilibrium parameters, i.e. the diffusion coefficients of the active phase and the electrolyte, conductivity of both phases, and the exchange current density, with numerical solutions of the underlying PDE system. The current density as well as all non-equilibrium parameters are scaled with respect to the 1-C current density of the intercalation electrode and the C-rate of discharge. Further we derive an expression for the capacity of the intercalation cell, which allows us to compute numerically the cell voltage as function of the capacity and the C-rate. Within a hierarchy of approximations of the non-equilibrium processes we provide computations of the cell voltage for various values of the diffusion coefficients, the conductivities and the exchange current density. For the later we provide finally a discussion for possible concentration dependencies and (surface) thermodynamic consistency.
- ItemEfficient coupling of electro-optical and heat-transport models for broad-area semiconductor lasers(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2018) Radziunas, Mindaugas; Fuhrmann, Jürgen; Zeghuzi, Anissa; Wünsche, Hans-Jürgen; Koprucki, Thomas; Brée, Carsten; Wenzel, Hans; Bandelow, UweIn this work, we discuss the modeling of edge-emitting high-power broad-area semiconductor lasers. We demonstrate an efficient iterative coupling of a slow heat transport (HT) model defined on multiple vertical-lateral laser cross-sections with a fast dynamic electro-optical (EO) model determined on the longitudinal-lateral domain that is a projection of the device to the active region of the laser. Whereas the HT-solver calculates temperature and thermally-induced refractive index changes, the EO-solver exploits these distributions and provides time-averaged field intensities, quasi-Fermi potentials, and carrier densities. All these time-averaged distributions are used repetitively by the HT-solver for the generation of the heat sources entering the HT problem solved in the next iteration step.
- ItemEfficient coupling of inhomogeneous current spreading and dynamic electro-optical models for broad-area edge-emitting semiconductor devices(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2017) Radziunas, Mindaugas; Zeghuzi, Anissa; Fuhrmann, Jürgen; Koprucki, Thomas; Wünsche, Hans-Jürgen; Wenzel, Hans; Bandelow, UweWe extend a 2 (space) + 1 (time)-dimensional traveling wave model for broad-area edgeemitting semiconductor lasers by a model for inhomogeneous current spreading from the contact to the active zone of the laser. To speedup the performance of the device simulations, we suggest and discuss several approximations of the inhomogeneous current density in the active zone.
