Abstract: The premixed hydrogen-air and propane-air flames in a closed duct were experimentally studied for a deep insight into the tulip distortion phenomenon. High speed schlieren photography and pressure sensors recorded the flame images and pressure dynamics at different equivalence ratios for detailed analyses and comparisons. The distorted tulip shape which was first scrutinized and distinguished as an exclusive feature in premixed hydrogen-air flame, was also observed in stoichiometric premixed propane-air flame with a similar behavior on flame shape changes. Tulip distortions are always accompanied by remarkable flame tip velocity fluctuations with near-constant amplitudes. But the pressure dynamics is totally different. There are no observable oscillation and stepped rise in pressure trajectory of stoichiometric premixed propane-air flame. The pressure wave effect is definitely not the incitation factor, but an additional enhancement of flame acceleration, deceleration and deformation. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
