openFuelCell2 - CFD toolbox for the simulation of electrochemical deviceselektrochemischer Geräte
openFuelCell2 is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) toolbox for simulating electrochemical devices such as fuel cells and electrolysis. The solver is based on the open-source library, OpenFOAM®. The source code was developed from a previous open-source repository called openFuelCell. It was also inspired by the standard solver "reactingTwoPhaseEulerFoam" in OpenFOAM®. The solver can consider coupled problems with multi-region and multi-physics issues, including single and two phase flows, multiple species components, charge transfer, and electrochemical reactions in different regions. More applications and solvers will be available in the future.
