abstract="The violence, or the rate, of a dust explosion is a deciding factor as to whether venting of the explosion will be effective. The turbulence of the dust cloud, initial as well as explosion-induced, plays a central role in determining the explosion violence. This was demonstrated in dust explosion experiments in large vented silo cells of 500 and 236 m3. In vented silo cells of L/D [ges] 6, explosion-induced turbulence can increase the explosion violence substantially. Further development of mathematical models for simulation of dust explosions in silo cells and other process equipment should be encouraged.<p />",
