Abstract

Two-dimensional unsteady gas flows in porous media with heterogeneous-combustion centers are investigated under forced filtration and free convection. With the use of numerical methods, it is shown that complex gas flows including vortex ones can arise under the combustion of solid porous media. In the case of forced filtration, the gas tends to flow around the heated portion of an object preferring to flow along cold regions. Under natural convection, the vortex gas flows, which can exist for a reasonably long time and strongly affect the oxidizer inflow into the reaction zone, arise at the initial moment of the process in the combustion zone and in its vicinities.
