Abstract

The method of activation energy asymptotics has been applied to analyze the zeroth-order dynamics of a planar combustion wave traveling through a porous medium in a direction opposite to that of the forced oxygen flux. Such a process finds practical application in the “reverse combustion” of coal seams in-situ. This two-phase oxygen-limited combustion process assumes an infinite effective Lewis number. The adiabatic front temperature is the eigenvalue for the basic-state problem, and is related to the front velocity by the integral energy balance.
