Abstract
An illustrative example embodiment of a flow field component includes a plate having a first side and an oppositely facing second side. The plate has an undulating profile defining a plurality of segments and a plurality of channels between the segments on at least the first side of the plate. The undulating profile includes some of the segments in a first reference plane and others of the segments in a second reference plane that is parallel to and spaced from the first reference plane.
