Abstract: The effect of geometrical dimensions on combustion of gas mixtures in closed vessels with obstacles has been studied. We show the possibility of considering separately the effects of combustion intensification with allowance for flame self-turbulization and the interaction of flame with obstacles. It has been established that the degree of combustion intensification due to self-turbulization is a universal function of the vessel volume and of the physicochemical characteristics of a gas mixture and is controlled by the Froude and Lewis numbers. Scale modeling of the interaction of flame with obstacles is shown to be possible.
