A three-dimensional model based on a section of serpentine flow field in the cathode of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) was developed.Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software was used to study the flow and transport of the components in the cathode layer of the PEMFC.The effect of channel width and depth of PEMFC flow field on gas distribution in the catalyst-layer was numerically studied.The numerical simulation results provided reference for how to design and improve the PEMFC flow field for achieving optimum oxygen distribution in the whole catalyst layer.
