Modeling Project: To be announced

General information

.

  • The modeling project is optional and to take it you must register. Register by sending me an email to Dag. Either register a full (or partially full) group, or individually, and I will put you in a group.
  • The project part of the course will count 25% of the final grade.
  • In the project you will work on a modeling problem in a group of 4-5 students over a period of 3 weeks.
  • The project description is published here October 27. This year's topic is about modelling lithium ion batteries.

Tentative time line

Registration deadline: October 27
Problems published: October 27
Project presentation: October 30 by Xavier and Simon Clark form SINTEF will give a talk.
Preparations: (1) Read carefully the information on this page.
(2) Read the proposals and start thinking about the project.
(3) Arrange a meeting in the project group to discuss and possibly divide tasks.
Deadline for delivering project November 23.

Project description for 2023

Modelling of lithium ion batteries. Here you find the Project description.

Errata

  • 29/10 : Fixed some typos
  • 3/11 : Reformulated Question 5. Added explanations in Section 3.1. Split Question 7 in two.
  • 3/11 : Removed "why" in question 3. Set $k_f=k_b$ in Question 7 and remaining from there. Fix the expression of the friction force in Question 13
  • 6/11 : Clarification in Question 7, Clarification in Question 12, Fix in equation 13, clarification in 13 (friction force depends on ion type)
  • 8/11 : Fixed coefficient in Question 12, fixed definition of $\Delta G$ and $\Delta G_0$ in question 7
  • 16/11 : State in question 15 that we want to formulate the equations in the general 3D case.

Each group delivers

  1. A written report, approximately 10 pages long.
    • The report can be either English or Norwegian.

How to work

  • Manage your time:
    • Expected total time per person: About 3x12=36 hours.
    • Try to plan, focus, and limit the work so that you get some results in the expected time without using many extra hours.
    • Imagine you work in a company and the group is given 3 weeks and 36 hours per member to finish the project (some results, report, presentation). Do your best with these constraints.
  • You can present partial results.
  • Try and fail is ok as long as you do not cover up.
  • You may discuss across the groups, but reports and presentations must be made independently.
  • You may use any literature you find, but you must give references to the source!
  • Do not copy from any source without understanding the material first!
