The deflagration flame of stoichiometric hydrogen-air mixtures is studied in
this paper. Combined with the foam copper structure, the deflagration
characteristic is analyzed in this paper. The experimental results show that the
foam copper can improve the flow instability at the flame front and the
degree of turbulence in the propagation process, the flame propagates more
rapidly in turbulence state, and the number of stages of flame
morphology during the propagation process increases. The classic ?tulip?
flame can be transformed into a distorted ?tulip? flame and a fractal
?tulip? flame before it collapses. When the flame passes through the foam
copper, the flame front velocity increases as the number of structural layers
increases. The flame front velocity propagates at supersonic speed through
the accumulation of three layers of foam copper. The instability of
overpressure in the propagation process will cause oscillation. More layers of
the structure, the oscillation frequency, and the amplitude of
the overpressure are increased significantly. Foam copper structure has a reverse
action on overpressure. When the overpressure value is low in the early
stage, the structure promotes the propagation, but the overpressure value is
large in the later stage, the structure has a blocking effect.
