contents In this paper we consider the topology optimization for a bipolar plate of a hydrogen electrolysis cell. We use the Borvall-Petersson model to describe the fluid flow and derive a criterion for a uniform flow distribution in the bipolar plate. Furthermore, we introduce a novel deflation approach to compute multiple local minimizers of topology optimization problems. The approach is based on a penalty method that discourages convergence towards previously found solutions. Finally, we demonstrate this technique on the topology optimization for bipolar plates and show that multiple distinct local solutions can be found.
