Toyota Research Institute of North America (TRINA) has developed a simulation-driven generative design method and applied it to the design of flow field microchannel plates, which direct the movement of fluid reactants in microreactors like hydrogen — oxygen fuel cells. While much of Toyota’s fuel cell R&D is confidential, the TRINA team has published an article in Chemical Engineering Journal about their simulation-enabled “inverse design” process. Applying this process to flow field plates resulted in four distinctive microchannel designs ( Figure 1).
