Hydrogen is promoted as an alternative energy given the global energy shortage and environmental pollution. A scientific basis can be provided for the safe use and emergency treatment of hydrogen based on hydrogen leakage and combustion behavior. This study examined the stagnation parameters of dynamic hydrogen leakage and flame propagation in turbulent jets under normal temperatures and high pressure. Based on van der Waals’ equation of state for gas, a theoretical model for completely predicting stagnation parameters, outlet gas velocity, and flow rate changes in the process of high-pressure hydrogen leakage could be proposed, and the calculation result of this model was compared with the experimental result, with an error within ±10%. The progression and propagation of the flame in turbulent jets after ignition were recorded using the backgroundoriented schlieren image technology, and the propagation speed of flame from the ignition position downward and upward was calculated. Moreover, the influence of initial pressure, nozzle diameter, and ignition position on the flame propagation process and propagation speed was analyzed.
