Recently, the solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) has gained great attention as it offers higher efficiencies compared to conventional low-temperature electrolysis. High-temperature SOEC systems takes advantage of excess steam from coal or nuclear power plants to reduce the required input energy, thus improving the overall efficiency for electrolysis. A novel three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is developed to simulate the coupled physical phenomena occurring in SOECs. The computational model is based on the open-source CFD software package, OpenFOAM®. The novelty would be development and implementation of complicated thermo-electrochemical models of underlying governing equations for SOEC.
