Numerical Simulation on the Gas Explosion Propagation Related to Roadway

AbstractBased on the combustion, explosions and air dynamics and related theory etc, this paper describes the mathematical model of gas explosion in detail, combined with the gas explosion transmission mechanism, make a research on two wave-three area structure of gas explosion and the energy change rule of the array face of precursor wave and the array face of flame wave, with the fluid dynamics analysis Fluent software, this paper makes a numerical simulation and analysis on the overpressure transmission rule when gas explosion takes place in different types roadways. The results of the study show that: Fluent software can be used to accurately simulate gas explosion condition, when explosion wave spreads in the roadway turns, the bigger of the overpressure value in corner, the stronger of the destructive power; when tunnel has bifurcation, the overpressure will release in bifurcation, but explosions wave with flame wave will produce more powerful destruction effect. The research results can be used as a certain reference for how to prevent and control the gas explosion, and how to reduce the power of the gas explosion etc
