A set of experiments performed at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in the framework of the LACOMECO European project is devoted to flame propagation in an obstructed large scale facility A3 (of 8 m height and 33 m3 volume) with initially vertical hydrogen concentration gradients. Almost linear positive and negative (relative to gravity) concentration gradients are created prior to ignition in the range from 4% to 13%, and the process of flame acceleration is investigated depending on hydrogen concentration gradient and ignition positions. In this paper we describe the A3 facility and analyse the experimental data obtained during the project. The results of numerical simulation performed using Europlexus code are presented together with the critical discussions and conclusions.
