| Short Description
| Deflagration of large-scale (initial radius 10 m) hemispherical stoichiometric hydrogen-air mixture in open atmosphere ignited at the centre of hemisphere.
10 m radius hemisphere with hydrogen-air mixture. Flame front contours with time.
|
| What phenomena were studied
| Flame front propagation and pressure generation after point ignition of initially quiescent mixture.
|
| What phenomena / effects can be studied
| Flame propagation dynamics in open atmosphere, pressure wave generation and propagation.
|
| Instrumentation
| Pressure transducers, video cameras to obtain flame contours.
|
| Test variables
|
|
| Data description / Data completeness
| Snapshots of flame contours up to 20 m and average flame front radius in time, pressure-time transients at 2, 2.4, 5, 6.5, 8, 18, 25, 35, 60, 80 m from the ignition point.
