Battery Electrode Simulation Toolkit Using MFEM - BESFEM

Watch a technical presentation from the 2024 MFEM Workshop where Hui-Chia Yu from Michigan State University introduces the Battery Electrode Simulation Toolkit (BESFEM). Explore how this open-source toolkit leverages the smoothed boundary method (SBM) and MFEM's solver library to perform battery electrode simulations on regular Cartesian grids instead of traditional body-conforming meshes. Learn about the integration of adaptive mesh refinement techniques to enhance computational accuracy and efficiency near SBM diffuse interfaces. Discover how this toolkit, developed as part of the DOE's Exascale Computing Project, will serve as a valuable research and educational resource for battery science and materials science communities. The presentation demonstrates how MFEM's high-order mathematical calculations and discretization algorithms enable more efficient large-scale scientific simulations on high-performance computing systems.
