[0082] Optionally, the first objective function can be determined by formula (1):

Indicates the maximum pressure drop limit value, in Pa.

[0092] Optionally, the fourth objective function can be determined by formula (5):

[0093] (5)

[0094] in, represents the fourth objective function, It represents the minimum value of the weighted average flow velocity of the flow channel area, in m / s. Indicates the cross-sectional area of ​​the flow channel, in m 2 , Represents the velocity component of the flow channel section, in m / s. Indicates the minimum flow rate limit in m / s.

[0095] In some optional embodiments, the preset objective function includes a first objective function corresponding to the utilization rate of the electrochemical active area, a second objective function corresponding to the uniformity of gas distribution, a third objective function corresponding to the uniformity of temperature distribution, a fourth objective function corresponding to the water management capability, and a fifth objective function corresponding to the pressure drop at the inlet and outlet of the flow field. The current response curve model includes a first type of response curve model and a second type of response curve model, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 A flowchart of steps for constructing a response curve model provided in an embodiment of the present application includes:

[0096] Step 302: Fit the initial first design variable to the first objective function, the second objective function and the third objective function respectively to generate a first type response curve model.

[0097] Step 304: Fit the initial second design variable to the fourth objective function and the fifth objective function respectively to generate a second type response curve model.

[0098] Among them, Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 A schematic diagram of a fluid dynamics model of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell flow field provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the fluid dynamics model includes an active area structure and a distribution area structure, the distribution area structure includes an inlet distribution area and an outlet distribution area, and the protruding structure in the distribution area structure can be a cylindrical boss. It should be noted that in actual use, the protruding structure in the distribution area structure can also be other types, and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this.

[0099] In order to save computing resources and time, the active area of ​​the fluid dynamics model can be simplified to a porous medium when optimizing the distribution area. The inertial resistance coefficient of the porous medium is and the viscous drag coefficient It can be calculated according to the coefficients of the fitted flow velocity and pressure drop curve. Among them, the flow velocity v and pressure drop of the porous medium The curve can be expressed as shown in formula (6):

[0101] in, Indicates the flow channel pressure drop, in Pa; It represents the pressure jump coefficient, also known as the inertial resistance coefficient, in units of 1 / m; represents gas density, in kg / m3; v represents gas velocity, in m / s; Indicates the dynamic viscosity of the gas, in units of ; Represents the surface permeability coefficient, in m 2 ; Represents the thickness of the porous medium along the flow direction, in meters.

[0102] After the distribution area is optimized, the active area design optimization is continued. The porous medium can be replaced by the actual flow channel structure, that is, replaced by the fluid dynamics model. Then, the hexahedral grid can be selected to divide the fluid dynamics model. The grid size can vary with the size of the convex structure in the distribution area. Among them, the boundary conditions can be set according to the working conditions, including inlet flow rate, outlet pressure, etc. Optionally, the cathode and anode gas inlet flow rates can be calculated by formula (7):

[0103] (7)

[0104] in, Indicates the gas inlet mass flow rate in kg / s; represents the gas excess coefficient; j represents the current density, the unit is A / cm 2 ; Indicates the active area of ​​the flow field, in cm 2 ; It represents the molar composition of hydrogen or oxygen; n represents the number of electrons, which is 4 for oxygen consumption on the cathode side and 2 for hydrogen consumption on the anode side; F represents the Faraday constant, with the unit of ‌C / mol; M represents the molar mass of the gas, with the unit of kg / mol.

[0105] It should be noted that the gas can be regarded as an incompressible gas, the outlet pressure can be set to the atmospheric pressure 101.325 kPa (A), and the gas consumption can be ignored.

[0106] like Figure 4 , Figure 4 The figure on the left shows a schematic diagram of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell plate. Figure 4 The upper figure in the two figures on the right shows a schematic diagram of a separate inlet distribution area or outlet distribution area in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell plate. Figure 4 The lower figure in the two figures on the right shows a partial enlarged schematic diagram of the inlet distribution area or the outlet distribution area, that is, Figure 4 In the two figures on the right, the partially enlarged schematic diagram of the dotted box on the left side of the upper figure shows that the length of the entrance distribution area or the exit distribution area is denoted as L, the width is denoted as W, and the radius of the cylindrical boss is denoted as R. In the length direction of the entrance distribution area or the exit distribution area, the number of lattices formed by the cylindrical boss is m, the distance between the center of the last cylindrical boss and the boundary of the distribution area is a, and the center spacing of the cylindrical boss is x. In the width direction of the entrance distribution area or the exit distribution area, the number of lattices formed by the cylindrical boss is n, the distance between the center of the last cylindrical boss and the boundary of the distribution area is b, and the center spacing of the cylindrical boss is y. It should be noted that the entrance distribution area and the exit distribution area maintain the same constraint relationship.

[0107] Therefore, the multiple initial first design variables may be m, n, x, y, and the length L and the width W may be expressed as shown in formula (8) and formula (9) based on the multiple initial first design variables:

[0108] (8)

[0109] (9)

[0110] After the allocation area structure is determined, multiple initial second design variables of the active area can be defined. Optionally, the flow channel ridge width ratio p, the groove width s, and the groove depth h can be selected as multiple initial second design variables.

[0111] Optionally, a can be designed to be 2 mm, b can be designed to be 3 mm, and R can be designed to be 0.8 mm. The fluctuation range of m is 4-8, the fluctuation range of n is 20-40, the fluctuation range of x is 2-5, the fluctuation range of y is 2-5, the fluctuation range of p is 1-2, the fluctuation range of s is 0.1-0.8, and the fluctuation range of h is 0.2-0.5. The multiple sets of m, n, x, y and the corresponding preset function values ​​obtained here are substituted into formula (10) to obtain the corresponding coefficients by solving the multivariate linear equations; the multiple sets of p, s, h and the corresponding preset function values ​​are substituted into formula (11) to obtain the corresponding coefficients by solving the multivariate linear equations.

[0112] Optionally, the initial first design variable is fitted with the first objective function, the second objective function and the third objective function respectively to generate the first type of response curve model, which can be done by a quadratic polynomial fitting method. Since the initial first design variable corresponding to the distribution area structure is determined by the distribution area design parameters and has nothing to do with the flow channel design parameters, the initial first design variable can be fitted with the first objective function, the second objective function and the third objective function respectively by formula (10), thereby obtaining the corresponding first type of response curve model.
