The traditional fuel cell flow channel structure exhibits disadvantages in terms of uniformity of current and species distribution. To address the issue that uneven distribution of reactant species and current prevents fuel cell performance from being fully realized, a fuel cell simulation platform with a leaf-vein bionic flow field is established based on COMSOL in this paper, and the effects of different flow channel configurations on species and pressure distribution and electrochemical reaction performance are investigated. It is found that by altering the flow channel angle, opening secondary flow channels, and adding streamlined blocks, oxygen distribution within the channels becomes more uniform; the current density of the streamlined block flow field is found to be 0.06 A/m² higher than that of the flow field with a 20° main-branch channel angle. Therefore, the research presented in this paper provides a reference for the structural design of fuel cell flow channels.
