缓燃(英语:Deflagration)是释放能量的两种方式之一[1],是以传热方式、低于音速地缓慢燃烧,日常绝大部分火灾皆属缓燃,低于音速的爆炸亦属缓燃。[1]另一种释放能量的方式称爆轰,两种方式都有俗称“爆燃”造成混淆。

火炉里的火在缓燃。

[...] DEFLAGRATION is a slow catching fire. Ordinary fire and most explosions are instances of deflagration. Deflagration fires are usually controllable and can be harnessed.[...] Combustion takes different forms. When a decomposition reaction or combination reaction releases a lot of energy in a very short span of time, an explosion may occur. Deflagration and detonation are two ways energy may be released. If the combustion process propagates outward at subsonic speeds, it’s a deflagration. If the explosion moves outward at supersonic speeds, it’s a detonation."
