Summary In the present paper, a 3‐D, non‐isothermal, two‐phase, transient model was built, and the dynamic characteristics of current density, liquid water saturation, and temperature can be observed after the abrupt changes of voltage, flow rate, and flow direction. The result shows that the change...
