As the most mature technology within electrolysis field, alkaline electrolyzers are expected to play an important role in energetic transition. Advantages as their simplicity, modularity and low-cost components make it interesting for near future. However, fundamental physics complex includes multicomponent, multiphase flow, porous media, electrochemistry heat transfer. To have a better understanding of these phenomena, presented work is devoted development computational fluid dynamic model understand behavior all species that part this technology.
