DESC is a new CFD-code that is being developed for simulating dust explosions in complex geometries. In the methodology followed, dust–air mixtures are ignited to deflagration in laboratory test vessels to provide information on fundamental flame propagation parameters. These quantities are subsequently used as input for combustion models in the CFD-code. Experiments were performed with maize starch...
