Abstract
Water management is the most important subject in the development of the Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells (PEFC) with high performance and high reliability. We have developed a three-dimensional simulator by using the Lattice Gas Automaton (LGA) method to analyze the transport phenomena in the gas diffusion layer (GDL) as well as in the separator channel. It is found that the three-dimensional simulator enable us to examine the liquid water distribution inside the Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells.
