Traveling fronts in porous media: existence and a singular limit
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider a model for the propagation of a subsonic detonation wave through a porous medium introduced by Sivashinsky [8]. We show that it admits travelling wave solutions that converge in the limit of zero temperature diffusivity to the travelling fronts of a reduced system constructed in [6].

Traveling waves in a one-dimensional random medium
We consider solutions of a scalar reaction-diffusion equation of the ignition type with a random, stationary and ergodic reaction rate. We show that solutions of the Cauchy problem spread with a deterministic rate in the long time limit. We also establish existence of generalized random traveling waves and of transition fronts in general heterogeneous media.

متن کاملA Discrete Singular Convolution Method for the Seepage Analysis in Porous Media with Irregular Geometry
A novel discrete singular convolution (DSC) formulation is presented for the seepage analysis in irregular geometric porous media. The DSC is a new promising numerical approach which has been recently applied to solve several engineering problems. For a medium with regular geometry, realizing of the DSC for the seepage analysis is straight forward. But DSC implementation for a medium with ir...
متن کاملSingular limit and homogenization for flame propagation in periodic excitable media
This paper is concerned with a class of singular equations modeling the combustion of premixed gas in periodic media. The model involves two parameters: the period of the medium |L| and a singular parameter ε related to the activation energy. The existence of pulsating travelling fronts for fixed ε and |L| was proved by H. Berestycki and F. Hamel in [BH]. In the present paper, we investigate th...
متن کاملBioremediation of Waste in a Porous Medium
A simplified model for bacterial remediation of wastes in a porous medium is proposed. The mathematical model consists of a coupled set of nonlinear partial differential equations and an ordinary differential equation. Basic existence, uniqueness and regularity of the system can be proved in three space dimensions, globally in time. The existence of traveling waves can also be established. In a...
