The mist cooling system offers a promising solution for efficiently managing and controlling thermal hazards in Li-ion batteries. By optimizing this system, it can be adapted to work seamlessly with the batteries. Nonetheless, a comprehensive understanding of the mist cooling system's effectiveness in mitigating thermal runaway (TR) hazards requires additional numerical testing and experimental investigation.

In pursuit of this goal, our project aims to conduct numerical modeling experiments involving the use of fine water mist under Thermal Runaway conditions. Special attention will be given to exploring the impact of varying air velocities on the system's hazard control capabilities.

This research will provide valuable insights into the potential of the mist cooling system to enhance battery safety and prevent thermal runaway incidents.
