Fire patterns in initial stages and safety investigation in a simulative underground fuel depot

摘要

The fire patterns in initial stages and safety performance in a simulative underground fuel depot are systematically investigated by experiment and analysis. The experimental results shwon that after fuel has been ignited in a simulative underground fuel depot, the fire patterns in initial stages are directly related to initial experiment conditions, boundary ones and the structure of the depot and so on. The special phenomenon from deflagration to detonation is foudn for the fire in initial stages in a simulative underground fuel depot. The experimental reuslts about the control conditions for the fire in initial stages from explosion to combustion are presented in this paper, too.
