In this study, the explosive behavior of syngas/air mixtures was investigated numerically in a 3-D cylindrical geometric model, using ANSYS Fluent. A chamber with the same dimensions as the geometry in the simulation was used to investigate the explosion process experimentally. The outcome was in go...
