This code performs an optimization over the structure of a porous electrode formed from a lattice of unit cells. This is a steepest descent version of the code used in:
V. A. Beck, J. J. Wong, C. F. Jekel, D. A. Tortorelli, S. E. Baker, E. B. Duoss and M. A. Worsley, Computational design of microarchitected porous electrodes for redox flow batteries, J. Power Sources, 2021, 512, 230453.
Please cite the reference above, Beck et al., 2021, if using any of this code in your own work.
The code requires installation of OpenFOAM. This code was tested using OpenFOAM v4.1. The code is compiled using the standard openFOAM command "wmake"
cd echemLatticeSmooth
wmake
The compiled code can be run after building a computational mesh
cd run01
blockMesh
echemLatticeSmoothSD
