This paper describes a method for determining the quasi one-dimensional burning velocity for gas explosion experiments in a smooth tube from pressure records. A one-dimensional random choice method code (RCMLAB) has been written in MATLAB. The combustion model in RCMLAB treats the combustion wave as...
