A Review on Development of CFD Simulation Models for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Stacks
In recent years,due to long time and high cost of experimental research,various computational models and simulations of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC)single cells and stacks have been rapidly developed.Numeri-cal simulation can reduce cost and improve efficiency in studying internal mechanism and output performance of PEMFC. In this paper,the operation mechanism of PEMFC is outlined,and the results and progress of the study of PEMFC by computational fluid dynamics (CFD)method are reviewed.Finally the research of PEMFC by numerical simulation is summarized and prospected,which can provide further reference for related investigations.
