Quenching and propagation of combustion fronts in porous media
نویسنده
چکیده
In this short note we study the model of subsonic detonation introduced by Sivashinsky. The model is described by the system of reaction-diffusion equations involving temperature, pressure and concentration of deficient reactant. It is shown that initial data with small support lead to quenching (decay of solution). In contrast, initial data with support large enough lead to propagation with finite velocity.

Explosion propagation in inert porous media.
Porous media are often used in flame arresters because of the high surface area to volume ratio that is required for flame quenching. However, if the flame is not quenched, the flow obstruction within the porous media can promote explosion escalation, which is a well-known phenomenon in obstacle-laden channels. There are many parallels between explosion propagation through porous media and obst...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Combustion with Porous Medium in I.C. Engine
Porous media has interesting features in compared with free flame combustion due to the extended of the lean flammability limits and lower emissions. Advanced new generation of internal combustion (IC) engines are expected to have far better emissions levels both gaseous and particulate matter, at the same time having far lower fuel consumption on a wide range of operating condition. These c...
متن کاملStability Analysis for Combustion Fronts Traveling in Hydraulically Resistant Porous Media
We study front solutions of a system that models combustion in highly hydraulically resistant porous media. The spectral stability of the fronts is tackled by a combination of energy estimates and numerical Evans function computations. Our results suggest that there is a parameter regime for which there are no unstable eigenvalues. We use recent works about partially parabolic systems to prove ...

متن کاملInvestigation of Pressure Pulse Distribution in Porous Media
Diffusivity equation commonly used for pressure distribution prediction in porous media results from substituting equation of state and continuity equation in Navier-Stokes momentum equation. From mathematical point of view this equation format shows infinite propagation speed for pressure pulse through porous media, which is physically impossible. This issue may caused by numerous assumption...
