1 Description

Quoting from the openFuelCell project page:

The openFuelCell project is a forum to develop open source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to model fuel cells. Fuel cells http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_cell are devices that convert hydrogen and oxygen to water and electricity, and are promising renewable energy conversion devices. Computational fluid dynamics tools are used to size and rate fuel cell systems. OpenFoam is an open source CFD toolbox, available for downloading at http://www.openfoam.com/, written in C++ and conforming to the object-oriented paradigm.


Note (6th of May 2017)
Development seems to be ongoing, as reported in the following entries:
Simply follow the instructions on the Quick start to access the source code.
