Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) is considered as a promising technology to resolve the current energy and environmental problems. However, thermal management is one of the critical barriers for its practical application. The computational approach can play a crucial role in exploring the solutions for those challenges. This thesis employs the multi-scale modelling and optimization approach to study the thermal behaviour of the SOFC and propose effective strategies of thermal management for the SOFC.
