Water management is one of the key issues to be solved in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), a three-dimensional two-phase mathematical model was established, and the VOF method was used to study the transport of liquid water in the serpentine channel. The influence of the baffle shape on the gas-liquid two-phase flow in the channel is analyzed, and the results show that the wave-shaped baffle is more conducive to the transmission of liquid water, and the liquid water has a faster transmission rate than the traditional serpentine channel; the influence of the contact angle of the inner wall of the wave-shaped baffle channel and the size and number of droplets on the transport of liquid water was further analyzed. The results show that when the contact angle between the wall surface of the gas diffusion layer (GDL) and the bottom surface of the channel is 150?, and the contact angle of the sidewall surface of the flow channel is 70?; the water removal effect is the best, and it can make the droplets detach from the GDL, prevent the droplets from clogging the GDL, and facilitate the diffusion of the reactants into the GDL. %K 蛇形流道,气液两相流,VOF模型,水管理
