abstract = {Code stability is a matter of concern for three-dimensional
(3D) fuel cell models operating both at high current density
and at high cell voltage. An idealized mathematical model of
a fuel cell should converge for all potentiostatic or
galvanostatic boundary conditions ranging from open circuit
to closed circuit. Many fail to do so, due to (i) fuel or
oxygen starvation causing divergence as local partial
pressures and mass fractions of fuel or oxidant fall to near
zero and (ii) nonlinearities in the Nernst and
Butler–Volmer equations near open-circuit conditions. This
paper describes in detail, specific numerical methods used
to improve the stability of a previously existing fuel cell
performance calculation procedure, at both low and high
current densities. Four specific techniques are identified.
A straight channel operating as a (i) solid oxide and (ii)
polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell is used to illustrate
the efficacy of the modifications.},
