The results of the first periodical testing vent-panels (VP)

The article is devoted to analysis of obtained during testing of sandwich panels and insulating glass as VP results. Here are the details on the first periodic test VP method GOST R 56289-2014 «Design translucent legkousvaivaemyh for buildings» using measuring instruments and testing equipment according to this standard, and, accordingly, the results of tests with additional observations obtained during the research

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

Gas explosion in a room with a window and passage to an adjacent room

Some publications describe an effect, produced during a physical model experiment, when an adjacent gas-free room influences the gas explosion pressure in a room with a window. The explosion pressure in this case significantly exceeds (2.5 times) the explosion pressure in a room without an adjacent room. This result has been confirmed by our studies. Based on other available information about the influence of the ignition point location on the explosion pressure in one room, it was suggested that this could be true for an explosion in two rooms. In our studies we used a test unit with two connected chambers, each having a volume of 1.125 m3. It turned out that this influence of the adjacent volume was not so unambiguous as it was described in those publications. It was found out that the maximum effect of explosion pressure amplification by the adjacent room is achieved, when the igniter is located in the chamber filled with a gas-air mixture in the area between the center of the chamber and the window (maximum amplification by more than 3 times). This effect is lower directly by the window (1.8 times) and is practically absent in case of ignition within the area near the passage connecting the chamber with the adjacent room. This suggests that the effect discovered earlier is a special case of the general dependence of the gas explosion pressure in two chambers on the igniter location
