Experimental Study on Dispersion and Explosion Process of Fuel-Air Mixture in Underground Fuel Depot

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the fuel-air dispersion and explosion experimental system was designed and experimental simulation on fuel-air mixture spreading and exploding in long-narrow underground fuel depot was carried out. The special phenomena of fuel-air mixture dispersion and explosion process, the characteristic feature of the pressure curve and mechanism were analyzed. The explosion process can be divided into three stages: flame accelerating section, oscillating reaction section and wave dissipating section. And under the same initial conditions, if the ignition time advanced, there is a significant intermittent and large fluctuations phenomenon.
