An anisotropic porous media model has been suggested for fluid motion in fuel cell cavities and has been shown to be valid experimentally with an actual fuel cell plate. Analytical solutions for pressure, velocity, and stream function have been obtained for finite and for point sources and sinks in rectangular cavities. Constant purge time curves have been constructed.
