介电流体具有高的比热容和稳定的绝缘性质,因此浸没式冷却技术被广泛用于高性能锂离子电池热管理系统。然而,对浸没冷却抑制电池热失控的研究仍较为有限。本研究在考虑电化学性能基础上,建立了一个新颖的热失控-热-流动多物理场耦合的数值模型,用于探究冷却工质和流量对热失控传播抑制的关键作用。通过电池组热失控实测数据验证了模型的可靠性。此外,提出一种评估方法,将热安全性和热管理性能相结合,为系统优化提供了量化依据。评价指标包括热失控触发时间(
t
TR
)、泵送功耗(
P
)、流动阻力(
f
)、努塞尔数(
Nu
)和综合性能指数(PEC)。最后建立了雷诺数(
Re
)与各评价指标的函数拟合关系,以探究流动换热的一般性规律。结果表明,尽管浸没冷却无法避免已经局部短路(针刺)电芯发生热失控,但有效抑制了热失控的传播。与强制空气对流相比,采用聚α烯烃(PAO)油能够显著延迟热失控在电池模组中的传播。沿热失控传播方向,电芯2的

TR
延长了94.9%,电芯3的

延长了45.3%,电芯4的

延长了42.8%。当
Re
超过9.88时,热失控传播得到有效抑制;在

Dielectric fluids offer high specific heat capacity and reliable electrical insulation
which have made immersion cooling a prevalent approach in thermal management systems for high-performance lithium-ion batteries. Nevertheless
studies on how immersion cooling suppresses battery thermal runaway (TR) remain scarce. In this work
a novel multiphysics coupled numerical model that integrates TR
thermal
and flow behaviors was developed on the basis of electrochemical fundamentals to investigate the key effects of cooling fluid type and flow rate on TR propagation mitigation. The model was validated against experimental data from TR tests conducted on battery packs. An evaluation methodology combining thermal safety and thermal management performance was also proposed to provide a quantitative basis for system optimization. The evaluation metrics include TR trigger time (
t
TR
)
pumping power (
P
)
flow resistance (
f
)
Nusselt number
and comprehensive performance index. Functional fitting relationships between the Reynolds number and each evaluation metric were established to identify general principles governing flow and heat transfer. The results indicate that although immersion cooling cannot prevent TR in cells already subjected to local short-circuit (nail penetration)
it suppresses TR propagation effectively. Compared with forced air convection
the use of polyalphaolefin (PAO) oil considerably delays TR propagation within the battery module. Along the direction of TR propagation
the
t
TR
of Cell 2 was extended by 94.9%
that of Cell 3 by 45.3%
and that of Cell 4 by 42.8%. When
Re
exceeds 9.88
TR propagation is suppressed effectively. At
Re
= 23.04 (0.7 g/s)
PAO oil achieves a notable reduction in temperature. These findings can serve as valuable references for the design of immersion cooling thermal management systems.
