At the FM Fire Modeling Workshop, taking place May 21-22, in Boston, MA, UL Research Institutes’ Electrochemical Safety Research Institute will share research that supports safer design, testing, and deployment of advanced energy technologies.
On May 21, members of the Electrochemical Safety Research team will showcase advanced modeling research that addresses complex thermal runaway propagation and flame acceleration hazards associated with emerging energy storage and energy generation technologies:
- Avijit Karmakar, Ph.D., research scientist, will lead a talk titled, “Multiscale Modeling Framework for Thermal Runaway Propagation in Next‑Generation Battery Modules” at 1:55 p.m. EDT
- Ramki Murugesan, Ph.D., research scientist, will present a poster titled “Numerical Investigation of Flame Acceleration and Detonation Re‑Initiation in Hydrogen–Methane Fuel Blends Using a Computationally Efficient Four‑Step Combustion Model” at 3:10 p.m. EDT
These modeling advancements contribute to a deeper understanding of fire dynamics critical to improving safety and resilience across energy infrastructure.
Hosted annually by FM, the workshop advances predictive fire models by fostering collaboration among experts in combustion science, fire protection engineering, software development, and experimental research.
