Abstract |
An experimental test program has been undertaken on the pressure coupling between gaseous deflagration and detonations and an underlying volume of water. The two forms of gaseous explosions were initiated in an ullage space within of a closed cylindrical metal vessel. The vessel, placed in a vertical orientation, and was 2 m high and 0.247 m diameter. The depth of water used for the experiments was 1.44 m. For the combustion tests the maximum pressure recorded in the ullage was also developed in the water volume. For detonation tests however a distinct pressure wave developed in the water filled region, significantly modifying the time resolved pressure history at the vessel wall. |
