Optimization of Fuel Cell Manifold and Structural Design of End Plates Using Computational Fluid Dynamics and Genetic Algorithm Approach

ABSTRACT Ensuring uniform fluid distribution in high‐power fuel cell stacks is crucial for automotive applications. This study introduces and evaluates novel X1‐ and X2‐shaped manifold designs against the conventional U‐shaped manifold to enhance distribution uniformity across cells. Computational F...
