Given the large interest for future uses of hydrogen, special safety measures have to be implemented for avoiding potential accidents. The broad objective of the research study is represented by the development and testing of experimental models representing areas of analysis and study for the initiation and combustion of air-hydrogen mixtures, respectively by numerical modelling of these phenomena, in order to obtain appropriate input data sets for precision computer simulations of chemical explosions of air– hydrogen mixtures. This will lead to an increased level of safety and health at work specific to industries endangered by explosive atmospheres generated by hydrogen. A specific objective of the research carried out and which is presented in the current paper is represented by the identification of technical requirements and the design of experimental models used for the analysis of explosions of air-hydrogen mixtures. In this regard, computational simulations have been carried out for establishing the technical solutions for developing the experimental models for analysing hydrogen explosions with linear propagation and with for the ones in which the propagation direction changes. For achieving the goals of the paper, there has been performed a documentation regarding the explosive characteristics of hydrogen, the safety and use criteria of the experimental models have been established, and, in the end, a prototype of an experimental model has been set out and tested in the virtual environment.
