abstract = {Metallic flow field plates, also called bipolar plates, are
an important component of fuel cell stacks, electrolyzers,
hydrogen purification and compression stacks. The
manufacturing of these plates by means of stamping or
hydroforming is highly suitable for mass production. In this
work, a toolbox is created that is suitable for a screening
process of different flow field design variants. For this
purpose, the geometry and computational mesh are generated
in an automated manner. Basic building blocks are combined
using the open source software SALOME, and these allow for
the construction of a large variant of serpentine-like flow
field structures. These geometric variants are evaluated
through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations with
the open source software OpenFOAM. The overall procedure
allows for the screening of more than 100 variants within
one week using a standard desktop computer. The performance
of the flow fields is evaluated on the basis of two
parameters: the overall pressure difference across the plate
and the relative difference of the hydrogen concentration at
the outlet of the channels. The results of such a screening
first provide information about optimum channel geometry and
the best choice of the general flow field layout. Such
results are important at the beginning of the design
process, as the channel geometry has an influence on the
selection of the metal for deep drawing or hydroforming
processes.},
