Multiphysics CFD for Energy Systems: from fundamental modeling to AI-driven design

About IMSL

Understand the physics, model it quantitatively, and turn it into design

Energy conversion devices couple reaction, heat, flow, and electricity at the same time. Looking at the reaction alone or the flow alone cannot predict how a real device performs. IMSL resolves these phenomena together with multiphysics CFD and combines it with AI to design next-generation hydrogen and zero-carbon power devices such as SOFC/SOEC stacks.
