The consideration of the turbulence influence on the gas explosion expansion in non-closed areas

In the gas explosions simulation practice in non-closed areas there is a common opinion of burning rate increase at turbulization of initial gas mixture stream. The article shows that in conditions of turbulization there is no increase of the burn rate, but of the flame front area. A wording change of pressure rise reason does not lead to a change of the calculation results, but gives the opportunity to look at the problem differently and interpret a physical process correctly. In order to prove it there are results of the vibrational combustion modeling in terms of gas explosion in the cylinder with an opening on the side. The results show that along with the pressure fluctuation there is burning area size fluctuation that occur synchronous and with the same amplitude. The modeling basis is the system of differential equations, that describe the adopted in gas dynamics fundamental conservation laws, the equation of state, written in the so-called Euler’s form. The system is supplemented with flame spread conditions. The system solution is based on the Russian method of the numerical approximation of this system-the large-particle method
