Dust explosion is dangerous hazard. There are basically two ways to study dust explosions and their dangers. One is to use different devices in laboratories and real equipment from industry in large scale test sites to carry out small and large dust explosion tests. Another one is to use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods to simulate dust explosions. Both have advantages and short comings. CFD can be useful for theoretical studies which in some cases could not be carried out under real industrial conditions. In this paper a CFD program, Dust Explosion Simulation Code (DESC), is used to simulate dust explosion and flan propagation in a bag filter. Some simulation results are presented.
