Abstract
Multi-phase lattice Boltzmann method is applied to investigate liquid water transport in th GDL and GC. The liquid water transport processes in the
GDL, near the GDL-GC interfaces and in the GC are discussed. The effects of channel land on liquid water dynamic behaviors and distribution in
the GDL and GC are investigated. It is found that channel land covers the GDL-GC interface where liquid water reaches changes the water
distribution near the GDL-GC interface and in the GC. While channel land is apart from the GDL-GC interface where liquid water reaches changes
the effects of channel land is smaller.
