OpenFCST

OpenFCST is an open-source fuel cell simulation software developed at the University of Alberta. The release version of OpenFCST (release v0.3) contains several steady-state cell-level and micro-scale simulation solvers. Cathode and anode electrode models, and several complete membrane electrode assembly models are available for macro-scale simulations (see tutorial page). For micro-scale simulations, an image to voxel-based mesh generator and a diffusion/conductivity solver are available. As of 2021, the OpenFCST team is working on release v1.0 which will include a pore-size distribution based two-phase flow model, a transient solver, and more advanced micro-scale simulation tools (see list of publications below).
