Abstract:The complex dynamics associated with the flooding phenomena in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells (PEFC) need to be appropriately probed in order to facilitate proper water management. In this work, we propose a hybrid Direct Numerical Simulation-Lattice Boltzmann Method (DNS-LBM) framework that enables to investigate such intricate multiphysics coupling. The reaction area passivation and pore blockage which is a consequence of the formation of water as a byproduct from the Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR) is impli… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
