Topology Optimization for Uniform Flow Distribution in Electrolysis Cells
Proceedings in Applied Mathematics & Mechanics(2023)
Abstract
In this paper we consider the topology optimization for a bipolar plate of a
hydrogen electrolysis cell. We present a model for the bipolar plate using the
Stokes equation with an additional drag term, which models the influence of
fluid and solid regions. Furthermore, we derive a criterion for a uniform flow
distribution in the bipolar plate. To obtain shapes that are
well-manufacturable, we introduce a novel smoothing technique for the fluid
velocity. Finally, we present some numerical results and investigate the
influence of the smoothing on the obtained shapes.
