Title: Consequences analysis of thermal runaway of lithium battery-powered vehicles on ro-ro ships

With the increasing demand for sea transportation of lithium battery-powered Vehicles, Current fire-fighting measures for car ro-ro ships based on gasoline leakage can it be satisfied the risks caused by high-temperature and light-weight flue gas generated by the thermal runaway of lithium batteries.

In order to solve such problems, FLACS-CFD is used to model and analyze multi-scenario consequence simulations for different ventilation layouts, leakage locations, and the number of leakage points. Based on the simulation results, suggestions are made for the existing fire-fighting measures.
