The numerical model of a solid oxide fuel cell is presented in the paper. Model has been established on the ground of a commercial CFD code. The basic set of governing equations for reacting mixture has been modified by adding an equation describing charge transport. The constitutive relations and closures are discussed. Hagiwara's experimental data for the tubular fuel cell have been employed for model verification. The results of computations agree well with the measurements for both voltage and power characteristics. At the end the SOFC performance has been also analyzed.
