Abstract
To estimate the turbulence influence of the branch tubes on the rising rate of gasoline-air mixture explosion overpressure, turbulence factor α was introduced to modify the formula of the peak rise rate of explosion overpressure. Then, the experimental data of peak explosion overpressure and overpressure rise rate under the different numbers of branches were obtained. Finally, the experimental data and laminar flame velocity were put into the overpressure rise rate correction formula, and the turbulence influence factors under different branches were calculated. The results show that increasing the number of branches will improve the turbulence degree of the explosion process. When the number of branching pipes is 1, the turbulence impact factor is about 2.0 times that in the case of no branch tube, while when the number of branch tubes is more than 1, the turbulence impact factor fluctuates about 3.5 times.
