People are becoming increasingly interested in well-being, which has made scuba diving a popular hobby. Conventional scuba equipment includes an oxygen mask connected to a tank on the back of the diver. However, scuba equipment is heavy and has a time limit; therefore, an alternative membrane type is being developed. In this study, a finite element analysis of a membrane cell for an artificial gill was performed using commercial software. The effects of the horizontal and vertical walls located within the cell were analyzed. The results showed that with a 20 mm horizontal wall, the maximum velocity increased from 0.157 to 0.159 m/s, an increase of 1.3%. In addition, the maximum pressure decreased from 11.4 to 11.3 Pa, a reduction of 0.9%. A membrane cell with 10 vertical walls was also analyzed. The results indicated that the maximum velocity increased by 4.5% to 0.164 m/s and that the maximum pressure increased by 55.3% to 17.7 Pa. These findings may contribute to the development of a detailed design for artificial gill membranes.
