Partner Search Request: Fuel Cells, Switzerland

The demands from fuel-cell industry for a reliable, dedicated multiphyscis simulation tools has significantly grown to respond to the underpinning technology. The objective of this project is to respond to these demands by making available a versatile Computational Multi-Physics, Multi-Phase Flow software for the simulation of SOFC, µDMFC and H2-µPEMFC fuel cells. This software (TRANSAT-FC) will be dedicated to the modelling of transport phenomena in fuel cells, and will be adapted from ASCOMP's TransAT software (Transport Phenomena Analysis Tool). TransAT is a general purpose multiphysics code developed by ASCOMP for the simulation of a wide range of industrial microfluidics flows and heat transfer. It already copes with a wide range of physical-chemical ingredients necessary for the design and optimization of energy conversion micro-systems www.ascomp.ch/transat.html).

TransAT aims to help address specific open issues for the design of innovative fuel cells, including:

  1. the coupling of two phase flow in the porous medium of the gas diffusion layer and the two phase flow in microchannels, and
  2. the modelling of the wetting behaviour at the complex membrane materials.

ASCOMP can also partipate in various other topics related to energy systems, from renewables to conventional systems.
