Abstract
In this paper, we study a 2D transient two-phase transport model for water species in the cathode gas diffusion layer of hydrogen polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC), the reformulation of water concentration equation is described by using Kirchhoff transformation, and its numerical efficiency is demonstrated by successfully dealing with the discontinuous and degenerate water diffusivity. The semi-discrete and fully discrete finite element approximations with Crank-Nicolson scheme are developed for the present model and the optimal error estimate in H1 norm and the sub-optimal error estimate in L2 norm are established for both finite element schemes.
