Abstract
Experiments of explosion venting in different conditions were performed in a cylindrical vessel with a vent duct; the pressure-time profiles from four transducers mounted in the line-of-sight centerline outside the vessel and the clear sequential shadowgraphs of external venting flow field taken by a high-speed shadowgraph imaging system were obtained. Based on these results, the characteristics of the external pressure field during venting were discussed systematically to explain the generation mechanism of the secondary explosion. In addition, the variations of the intensity of the secondary explosion in different venting conditions, namely the failure pressure, ignition location, area blockage ratio or equivalence ratio of the fuel, were also analyzed in detail.
