The invention discloses a dimension reduction modeling method suitable for a
proton exchange membrane fuel
cell short stack, which is characterized in that a
membrane electrode assembly is solved by adopting a one-dimensional flux equation, and a PEMFC short stack polar plate, a flow channel and a
gas diffusion layer assembly are solved by adopting a three-dimensional computational domain. Comprising a
mass conservation equation, a
momentum conservation equation, a component conservation equation, an
energy conservation equation, a
liquid water equation and an
electron potential conservation equation; the one-dimensional domain comprises electrochemical reaction, membrane state water, electroosmosis dragging and a flux conservation equation related to a catalytic layer and a
proton exchange membrane. A three-dimensional domain calculation result is used as a one-dimensional domain boundary condition, and the one-dimensional domain calculation result is converted into a three-dimensional domain source phase and is connected with the three-dimensional domain through an expansion layer. According to the method, modeling is carried out on the PEMFC short
pile, the number of grids can be reduced to one tenth of that of a traditional three-dimensional model,
mass and
heat transfer, electrochemical reaction, membrane
water balance and other processes occurring in the PEMFC are considered, and accurate
simulation can be carried out on the PEMFC
pile with the activation area exceeding 300 cm < 2 > and the number of battery blocks larger than 10.
