The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has experienced tremendous advances and has been
well accepted as a useful method to simulate various fluid behaviors. For computational …

A literature study is performed to compile the state-of-the-art, as well as future potential, in
SOFC modeling. Principles behind various transport processes such as mass, heat …

A lattice Boltzmann model with a multiple-relaxation-time (MRT) collision operator for the
convection–diffusion equation is presented. The model uses seven discrete velocities in …

Abstract The Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) anode materials are catalytically active for
Direct Internal Reforming (DIR) thus avoiding the need of external reformer. However …

A three-dimensional numerical simulation of the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) anode
overpotential is conducted in a microstructure which is reconstructed by dual-beam focused …

Due to the extremely tiny pore size of tight gas and shale gas reservoir, the modified Darcy's
law in which the intrinsic permeability is replaced by the apparent permeability that can be …

Three-dimensional microstructure of mixed ionic and electronic conducting cathode, La0.
6Sr0. 4Co0. 2Fe0. 8O3− δ (LSCF6428), is obtained by a dual-beam focused ion beam …

In this study, a stochastic method for the microstructural reconstruction of catalyst layers in
proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells is presented, and empirical expressions for the …

Present solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) use complex materials to provide (i) sufficient stability
and support,(ii) electronic, ionic, and mass transport, and (iii) electrocatalytic activity …

A distance propagation method is presented for calculating tortuosity with relatively low
computation time from three-dimensional (3D) tomographic data. Moreover, a novel concept …
