I want to study temperature profile in tubular sofc fuel cell with method finite volume + fortran
i see many book but i didn't find a discretisation of tube with finite volume and the system of equations .
there is an energy generate , a fluid inside the tube (O2) and another outside (H2) in 2D (r,Z). thank you for any help

Hi tggt21,

The principles of FVM are quite standard and simple (see, e.g., Patankar of Fertziger & Peric books). The difference in using cylindrical coordinates is only in the "del" operator. Peric also has a site with simple codes which may help you. In your case you'll also need conservation equations for the energy and species, but they all are variations of the general transport equation.

Good luck,
Rami
