Computational analysis of multi-phase flow in porous media with application to fuel cells

Understanding how the water produced in an operating polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is transported in cathode catalyst layer (CCL) is crucial to improving performance and efficiency. In this thesis, a multiple-relaxation-time (MRT) lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is employed to simula...
