Publications "Interface Conditions Between Free Flow
and Porous Media Flow in Fuel Cells"
| |
Summary
Numerical simulation of coupled flows in porous media and free flow situations is essential
for many industrial and environmental problems. Both kinds of flows appear together e.g.
in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells.
The transport of the fuel to the active zones,
and the removal of the reaction products are realized by channels and porous diffusion layers.
Mathematical models of PEM fuel cells aim at optimizing the important water management.
For this issue a deeper understanding of the coupling of the flow processes is necessary.
