MEP Lecture Series - Presentation: “High-speed aerodynamics using scale-resolving simulations” by Prof. Neil Sandham, University of Southampton

Dear MEP core members, TUM researchers and students, you are cordially invited to attend the next lecture in the series “New Horizons in Materials, Energy, and Process Engineering” of the Munich Institute of Integrated Materials, Energy and Process Engineering (MEP): “High-speed aerodynamics using scale-resolving simulations” by Prof. Neil Sandham, Professor of Aerospace Engineering, University…

New Publication from the Chair of Automotive Technology: Long-Term Aging of Li-Ion Batteries in the VW ID.3 Under Realistic and Accelerated Test Conditions

This research investigates the long-term aging behavior of lithium-ion battery cells from the VW ID.3 under realistic usage scenarios and accelerated test conditions. The objective is to identify the dominant degradation effects at the cell level and compare them with the aging behavior of a comparable battery pack in a test vehicle under real-world field conditions. Understanding Lithium-Ion…

Workshop Advancing CFD Simulations with Tensor Networks

Elie Mounzer and Lukas Groß from DFKI in Bremen recently came to the Munich Institute of Integrated Materials, Energy, and Process Engineering (MEP) to lead a workshop on tensor networks. This mathematical approach breaks down complex, multidimensional data into interlinked tensors—a concept originally developed for quantum many-body systems. MEP attendees examined how tensor networks can enhance…

New Publication by the Advanced Materials Group at FRM II on Lithium Loss Mechanisms in NCA||Si Cells

In a recent study, the Advanced Materials Group at FRM II demonstrates that during cyclic aging of NCA||Si cells, lithium is lost from the cathode and remains trapped in the silicon-rich anode. Operando neutron diffraction and prompt gamma activation analysis (PGAA) confirm the structural changes and lithium redistribution—providing important insights into degradation mechanisms in lithium-ion…

New Study from the Chair of Automotive Technology: Influence of Load Profiles on Impedance Relaxation Behavior in Lithium-Ion Batteries

In a recent publication in the Journal of Power Sources, the Chair of Automotive Technology at TUM analyzes the impedance relaxation behavior of lithium-ion cells following defined discharge procedures. The study investigates the impact of state of charge (SoC), depth of discharge (DoD), and realistic discharge profiles on impedance over relaxation periods of up to 46 hours. The findings show…
