Abstract
⺠Pore-scale flow and mass transport in a gas diffusion layer (GDL) of interdigitated PEMFC is studied. ⺠Effects of local porous structures of GDL on fluid flow and mass transport are significant. ⺠Pore-scale dynamic behaviors of liquid water in the porous GDL are simulated. ⺠Narrower land reduces liquid water removal time and residual saturation in the GDL. ⺠Higher contact angle increases the removal time and reduces the residual saturation in the GDL.
