What is it about?
CFD technology can be efficiently employed to analyze and develop a deeper understanding of the complex interaction between the PEM fuel cell components and the processes that occur inside it, which would be not possible by experimental techniques alone. There are some interesting and promising new results using CFD technology in PEM fuel cell development, that have been explored particularly for what concerns: innovative designs, innovative algorithms, maximum power and long cell life, air-breathing PEM fuel cells, micro PEM fuel cells, micro air-breathing PEM fuel cells, mechanical and hygro-thermal stresses in the PEM fuel cells, the natural vibration of the PEM fuel cell stacks, and integrated PEM fuel cells. These innovative improvements will show a new scenario for the future fuel cell market of the next years.
