openFuelCell2

openFuelCell2 is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) toolbox for simulating electrochemical devices such as fuel cells and electrolysis. The solver is based on the open-source library, OpenFOAM®.

About the code

The source code was developed from a previous open-source repository called openFuelCell. It was also inspired by the standard solver reactingTwoPhaseEulerFoam in OpenFOAM®. The solver can consider coupled problems with multi-region and multi-physics issues, including single and two phase flows, multiple species components, charger transfer, and electrochemical reactions in different regions. More applications and solvers will be available in the future.

Running your own simulations
