• Find efficient fuel cell design and operation strategy for given available space and power demand • Resolve coupled fields of water (gas, liquid, dissolved), species, thermal, and current to ensure proper operation in the complete cell and stack Fuel Cell Performance Under Full Range of Operating Conditions Customer Goals Benefits Solution • Efficient Preprocessing: cell types suitable for high aspect ratio cells in thin bodies of the fuel cell, which leads to reduced cell count (Fluent Meshing) • Built-in models for low temperature PEM-FC (Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell) and high-temperature SOFC (Solid Oxide Fuel Cell) (Fluent) • Scalability for large stack models (Fluent/HPC) • Predict polarization curves for different operating conditions • Identify and avoid areas of starvation, drowning, drying, hotspots • Optimize bipolar plate design and operating strategy Single Cell Serpentine Fuel Cell Results Fuel Cell Stack
