HeatLab Research Visit to South Korea and Japan
Between September 19 and October 1, 2025, members of our laboratory – Kateřina Mayerová, Erik Bartuli, and Jiří Hvožďa – participated in a research visit to South Korea and Japan. The trip combined active participation in an international scientific conference with follow-up meetings at partner universities to strengthen ongoing collaborations. In Busan (Korea), the team attended the 35th International Symposium on Transport Phenomena (ISTP-35), where
Two New PhD Graduates from HeatLab
In September, Ing. Kryštof Mráz and Ing. Jiří Hvožďa successfully defended their doctoral theses at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Brno University of Technology, under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Jan Boháček, Ph.D. Both researchers conducted their work within the HeatLab, focusing on advanced thermal systems and polymeric materials for energy-efficient applications. Ing. Kryštof Mráz defended his dissertation titled Optimization of Polymeric Hollow Fiber Heat
The Importance of Being Spiral: New Study on Cylindrical Battery Modeling
One of our latest studies, Modeling Heat Transfer in Cylindrical Batteries: Spiral-Based Thermal Conductivity Tensor, explores how the internal spiral-shaped structure of Li-ion batteries affects the temperature field — and whether the commonly used simplifications in thermal models hold up under scrutiny. Many models assume a concentric cylindrical layout of electrodes and separators, leading to orthotropic thermal conductivity with constant radial, tangential, and axial components.But
