Measurement of turbulent burning velocities by means of the open tube method

Fraunhofer-ICT is one of the participants of EU-project DESC. The final objective of DESC is the development of a numerical code to be able to support a safe design of dust handling facilities. Fh-ICT designed an apparatus based on the so called open tube method (Andrews, G. E., & Bradley, D. (1972). Determination of burning velocities: a critical review. Combustion and Flame 18, 133–153) by means of which the relation between turbulent burning velocity and turbulence intensity in the range of 1 m/s
