Abstract
A 2D mathematical model of a solid oxide fuel cell is presented. The p hysics of the cell and the simplifying assumptions are first presented . Then the governing equations and boundary conditions are laid out. T he resulting system is a coupled system of elliptic equations, with in terface source terms and jumps. The aim of this paper is to compare th e discretization by the finite volume method with the discretization b y finite element methods.
