The article focuses on the establishment of the experiment system in confined space with weak constraint surface. It also studies the overpressure variation of gasoline vapor explosion, the mechanism of flame shapes with time, and the coupling relationship between them under different weak constraint conditions. Meantime, the development modes of external flame after the damage of weak constraint are categorized. The results show that: 1. With the increasing area of weak constraint surface, the development modes of external flame can be categorized into: under-expansion jet combustion, jet combustion, external explosion. 2. When an external explosion occurs, the change of internal overpressure in confined space is more complicated, with multiple overpressure peaks as well as strong Helmholtz oscillations. 3. Lower initial gasoline vapor concentration and large area of weak constraint surface are more conducive to external explosion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
