To study the flame propagation characteristics of methane/air premixed gas in the pipeline with a sudden change of the pipe cross-sectional area, six kinds of customized pipes are used to study the methane/air premixed gas with a concentration of 9.5%. The results show that when the initial smooth flame front encounters an abrupt change in the cross-sectional area, the flame front becomes disordered and a turbulent flame is formed. A greater change in the cross-sectional area results in more severe flame turbulence. Compared with larger cross-section pipes set at the ignition end and downstream end, when the large cross-sectional area pipe is set in the middle of the pipe, the flame propagation process receives the secondary mutation induction effect of the abrupt cross section and the turbulence effect is stronger. The maximum propagation velocity and pressure are observed in configuration with the larger pipe in the middle of the pipe network. Moreover, when the cross-sectional area of this larger pipe increases, the flame is more substantially influenced by longitudinal expansion, the maximum propagation velocity and maximum overpressure increase accordingly, and the pressure oscillations are more obvious.
