abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">Numerical methods of a 3D multiphysics, two-phase transport model of
proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is studied in this paper. Due to the
coexistence of multiphase regions, the standard finite element/finite volume method
may fail to obtain a convergent nonlinear iteration for a two-phase transport model
of PEMFC [49, 50]. By introducing Kirchhoff transformation technique and a combined finite element-upwind finite volume approach, we efficiently achieve a fast convergence and reasonable solutions for this multiphase, multiphysics PEMFC model.
Numerical implementation is done by using a novel automated finite element/finite
volume program generator (FEPG). By virtue of a high-level algorithm description language (script), component programming and human intelligence technologies, FEPG
can quickly generate finite element/finite volume source code for PEMFC simulation.
Thus, one can focus on the efficient algorithm research without being distracted by
the tedious computer programming on finite element/finite volume methods. Numerical success confirms that FEPG is an efficient tool for both algorithm research and
software development of a 3D, multiphysics PEMFC model with multicomponent and
multiphase mechanism.</p>},
