Abstract: The transition to hydrogen-based mobility re- quires Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) Fuel cells that are not only efficient but also durable under dy- namic load conditions. Traditional lumped parameter models often fail to capture the micro-climates inside theflow channels—areas where water flooding or membrane dehydration occurs locally. This term paper employs Ad- vanced Numerical Analysis to bridge this gap, focusingon the spatial distribution of Electrochemical parameters. By resolving the heat source terms into discrete physical contributions, the model enables targeted en- gineering interventions that are not accessible through bulk parameter approaches.
