ABSTRACT
In order to study the effect of ignition position on the deflagration characteristics of oil mist in ship cabins, a self-constructed simulated cabin experimental platform was created to conduct experiments on the effect of ignition position on oil mist deflagration characteristics. The results indicate that the deflagration process of oil mist under various conditions can be divided into four stages, they are respectively deflagration, turbulent combustion, flame stretch and self-extinguishing. The peak velocity of flame propagation decreases with the increasing of the distance between the ignition position and the nozzle. When the distance increases from 13 cm to 83 cm, the peak velocity decreases by 6 m/s with a reduction of 57.14%. The peak temperature inside the cabin decreases with the increasing of the distance between the ignition position and the nozzle. When the distance increases from 13 cm to 83 cm, the peak temperature decreases by 118.2°C with a reduction of 13.94%. The pressure distribution inside the cabin after ignition increases first and then decreases. As the distance between the ignition position and the nozzle increases, the peak pressure at various positions also increases, and the maximum peak pressure is located at 110 cm in the cabin. At the ignition position of 83 cm, the peak pressure reaches the maximum value of 1.603 MPa, which increases by 0.858 MPa (115.17%) compared with the ignition position of 13 cm.
