Abstract: It has been experimentally shown that a complex obstacle consisting of two confusers oriented in opposite directions of a cylindrical vessel completely prevents the propagation of diluted methane – oxygen flames, i.e., the obstacle is the most effective flame arrester; the theoretical predictions are consistent with the experiments.

Keywords: flame, propagation, methane, oxygen, obstacle, confuser, Navier–Stokes, low Mach number.
