This review examines existing knowledge on the genesis and flame acceleration of
explosions from methane–air mixtures. Explosion phases including deflagration and …

Underground structures are normally located in highly-confined and congested spaces,
which may lead to severe gas explosion accidents, with significant human and economic …

Accounting for the probability of an explosion is essential in the design of plants and
onshore or offshore gas or oil exploration platforms. This, of course, will have major …

An experimental and theoretical study of premixed flame propagation in a number of small-
scale, cylindrical vessels is described. The study provides further understanding of flame …

In this work, a validated Large Eddy Simulation model of unsteady premixed flame
propagation is used to study the phenomenology underlying vented gas explosions in the …

The overpressure generated in a 10 L cylindrical vented vessel with an L/D of 2.8 was
investigated, with end ignition opposite the vent, as a function of the vent static burst …

There is a general lack of information on the effects of full-bore obstacles on combustion in
the literature, these obstacles are prevalent in many applications and knowledge of their …

The demand for higher combustion efficiency and performance is attainable through
pressure gain combustion. Pressure gain combustion exploits the pressure rise for high flow …

This paper presents a new experimental and Large Eddy Simulation (LES) database to
study upscaling effects in vented gas explosions. The propagation of premixed flames in …

The influence of obstacle separation distance on explosion flame acceleration was studied
for 10% methane–air mixtures using two 20% blockage obstacles with variable number and …
