Experiment on Thin Structure Behavior of Explosion Flame Flow Field

Abstract:

To prevent and control fire and explosion disasters, the premixed methane-air explosion was performed under restricted condition. In the experiment, the high speed schlieren photography system was used to record the flame characteristics and propagation mechanism. At the same time the ion current probe was used to reveal the inner flame structure characteristics. Based on the images of High Speed Schlieren Photography, the flame acceleration and flame structure were discussed in detail. In addition, the flow field characteristic of explosion flame was disclosed clearly. The microscopic evolving process of laminar-turbulent transition was accomplished in the period of flame structure change. As an alternative observation and detect technique, the high speed schlieren photograph system was used to capture flame front microstructure dynamic process precisely. Based on burning chemical and explosive dynamics, the optical measure method can record flame dynamic behavior visually, which further helps to disclose flame microstructure characteristic and the inner dynamic mechanism.
