Abstract

In this article a theoretical model of a RedOx flow cell (RFC), based on an equation system of fluid dynamics and of electrochemistry, is presented. A numerical algorithm of the solution of the equation system is developed. The results of numerical simulation of processes in the RFC are analyzed and validated in a test cell. The effects of different electrode collectors and current densities on the operation of the RFC are studied.
