The flame is dangerous, and flame propagation can create more damage. However, the generation and propagation of the flame is conditional, and it's easier to realize in a closed or half-closed space such as pipeline. That '11.22' Huandao pipeline explosion accident showed damage of the flame in a pipeline. By studying the flame of methane-air premixed in underground drains, using a numerical simulation method, and then analyzing that results, this article draw the flame propagation state of methane-air premixed in underground drains in different conditions and the impact on external space.
