Abstract

Several experimental observations of transition to detonation in fuel-air mixtures have clearly demonstrated that transition phenomena, similar to those identified in more sensitive fuel oxygen mixtures, can also occur in fuel air mixtures. This means that the worst case detonation scenario cannot be excluded a priori in assessing the hazards from vapour cloud explosions. The present paper describes the considerable progress that has been made towards quantifying the potential for transition to detonation in a fuel-air cloud.
