Popis: In this paper, the flame propagation characteristics and overpressure oscillation characteristics of CH4 explosion were studied under different ignition positions (IPs) and oxygen enrichment conditions in a half-open tube. The distances between the IP and the closed end of the tube are 0, 250, 500, and 750 mm. The oxygen enrichment coefficient (φ) values used in the experiment are 0.21, 0.3, and 0.4. The experimental results show that the IP and oxygen enrichment coefficient have an important influence on the flame structure and overpressure oscillation. Only when the oxygen enrichment coefficient φ = 0.21, a tulip flame will be formed. The IP close to the outlet can make the air participate in the combustion more quickly. With the increase of the oxygen enrichment coefficient, the combustion-induced rapid phase transition phenomenon is more likely to occur, and the maximum overpressure value and the overpressure rise rate of flame will increase. It is worth noting that after increasing the oxygen enrichment coefficient, the IP has less influence than the oxygen enrichment coefficient on the overpressure rise rate.
