Novel propagation mechanisms of vapour cloud explosions

This thesis considers the possibility of a novel propagation mechanism of vapour cloud explosions. The hypothesis is based on the potential of forward thermal radiation from hot combustion products to initiate combustion ahead of the main flame front by igniting particles suspended in the unburnt ga...
