Abstract

The simulation using the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has been developed to understand the behavior of liquid water and gas flow in porous media of PEM fuel cells. The original LBM code was parallelized and a increase in solving speed of the Poisson equation was made by the conjugate gradient (CG) method for the large-scale simulation. Some validation calculations were conducted and the rate of speeding up was verified. Using the parallelized LBM code with the CG method, the behavior of liquid water in a gas diffusion layer was simulated and the applicability of our code to two-phase simulation in a porous medium of PEM fuel cells are presented.
