Abstract: The effect of the location of the initiation point on explosion-field parameters is studied numerically using as an example the detonation of a stoichiometric mixture of propane with air. The shape of the cloud of the mixture (toroid) and the ratio of its dimensions in calculations are typical of the volumes of air–fuel mixtures formed in accidents. The effect of the initiation point location within the cloud cross section was studied with variation in the position of the lower edge of the cloud above the underlying surface.
