چکیده
We prove the existence of traveling waves, and identify the wave sequences appearing in Riemann solutions, for a system of three evolutionary partial differential equations that models combustion of light porous foam under air injection.

Wave sequences for solid fuel adiabatic in-situ combustion in porous media
We study the Riemann problem with forward combustion due to injection of air into a porous medium containing solid fuel. We neglect air compressibility and heat loss to the rock formation. Given initial reservoir and injection conditions, we prove that there is a unique time asymptotic wave sequence for combustion with complete oxygen consumption. The sequence consists of a region of unburned a...
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...

Application of foam in EOR, increases macroscopic sweep efficiency via awesome increscent of mobility control. Macroscopic manifestation of foam application performance in porous media is complex process that involves several interacting microscopic foam events. Stability as an important factor in foam injection within large reservoirs, depends on several variables including oil saturation, con...
متن کاملCombustion Fronts in a Porous Medium with Two Layers
We study a model for the lateral propagation of a combustion front through a porous medium with two parallel layers having different properties. The reaction involves oxygen and a solid fuel. In each layer, the model consists of a nonlinear reaction–diffusion–convection system, derived from balance equations and Darcy’s law. Under an incompressibility assumption, we obtain a simple model whose ...
متن کاملModelling the Propagation of Forward and Opposed Smouldering Combustion
A computational study has been carried out to investigate smouldering ignition and propagation in polyurethane foam. The one-dimensional, transient, governing equations for smouldering combustion in a porous fuel are solved accounting for improved solid-phase chemical kinetics. Forward and opposed smouldering modes are examine and the model describes well both propagation modes. Specifically, t...
