Short title	Air movement suspends dust, ignition propagates flame and confinement raises pressure.
Image title	Three panels. 1: a settled dust layer on a floor is lifted by air movement into a dispersed cloud above it. 2: inside a vessel the dust cloud is ignited by an ignition source and a flame front propagates through the cloud. 3: the hot combustion products in the closed vessel push outward on all walls, building up confined pressure.
