In the present study, a transparent plexiglass pipe experimental system incorporating a range of angles (30\u00b0 to 150\u00b0) was meticulously constructed. Leveraging high-frequency pressure sensors in conjunction with high-speed camera technology, this investigation examines the influence of the pipe angle, which disrupts geometric symmetry, on the coupling explosion of gas and coal dust. The experimental findings illustrate that an increase in the pipeline turning angle significantly enhances the velocity of the explosion flame front (with the maximum velocity escalating from 97.92 m\/s to 361.28 m\/s) and concurrently reduces the total propagation time (from 71 ms to 56.5 ms). Moreover, there is a notable reduction in the duration of the explosion flame, decreasing from 240.5 ms to 64.17 ms at the coal dust deposition point. The peak overpressure of the shock wave exhibits a significant increase with the augmentation of the turning angle (rising from 7.07 kPa at 30\u00b0 to 88.40 kPa at 150\u00b0). Furthermore, the overpressure in the fore section of the turning is amplified, attributable to the superimposition of reflected waves and turbulent effects. This study elucidates critical mechanisms including turbulence-enhanced combustion, secondary dust generation from coal dust, and energy dissipation resulting from abrupt alterations in pipeline geometry, thereby offering a theoretical framework for the prevention and effective emergency management of coal mine explosion disasters.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym17081301","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,12]],"date-time":"2025-08-12T15:51:02Z","timestamp":1755013862000},"page":"1301","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Experimental and Mechanistic Study of Geometric Asymmetry Effects on Gas\u2013Coal Dust Coupling Explosions in Turning Pipelines"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Shaoshuai","family":"Guo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Ecology and Environment, North China University of Water Resources and Electric Power, Zhengzhou 450046, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuansheng","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Ecology and Environment, North China University of Water Resources and Electric Power, Zhengzhou 450046, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guoxun","family":"Jing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Safety Science and Engineering, Henan Polytechnic University, Jiaozuo 454003, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0108-8828","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yue","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Safety Science and Engineering, Henan Polytechnic University, Jiaozuo 454003, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"913","DOI":"10.1007\/s10891-023-02753-6","article-title":"Distinctive Features of Propagation of the Flame of a Coal\u2013Methane\u2013Air Mixture in a Cylindrical Channel","volume":"96","author":"Moiseeva","year":"2023","journal-title":"J.
