Abstract :
In this paper, a real time fuel cell channel layer fluidic model is developed in two dimensions by a multi-thread real time finite element method. A graphic real time interface is used to show the pressure map of hydrogen, oxygen and water in anode and cathode by considering the fuel cell current and the stack temperature. After that, the real time simulation performance is analyzed. Different parallel calculation methods which are developed with better performance. Finally, the optimization methods are analyzed and discussed.
