| Abstract | ||
| Studying of gas deflagration is important for a safety purpose in gas industry. A modelling approach based on large eddy simulation (LES) technique for modelling turbulent flow combined with the species mass fraction equations for modelling combustion is used. Different flame acceleration mechanisms, hydrodynamic & thermo-diffusive instabilities, turbulence, and their interaction in addition to flame quenching model are used to model chemical reaction rate. An algebraic model for flame-generated turbulence is incorporated. The model is tested against large scale open atmosphere hydrogen-air experiment. The flame propagation radius and the overpressures are qualitatively compared well with experiment and the state-of-the-art simulations. | ||
