Thermal analysis of a 6s4p Lithium-ion battery pack cooled by cold plates based on a multi-domain modeling framework

•3D thermal modeling of 6s4p Li-ion battery pack with 14 cells is performed.•A multi-channel parallel cold plate is designed for the cooling of the battery pack.•The cooling performance of the battery pack under different conditions is modeled.•Thermal responses of Li-ion battery under external shorting are simulated.•Multi-scale multi-domain modeling is demonstrated for large Li-ion battery pack.
