Title: A Pore-Network Model of In-Situ Combustion in Porous Media

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/773827· OSTI ID:773827

This report the use of dual pore networks (pores and solid sites) for modeling the effect of the microstructure on combustion processes in porous media is considered. The model accounts for flow and transport of the gas phase in the porespace, where convection predominates, and for heat transfer by conduction in the solid phase. Gas phase flow in the pore and throats is governed by Darcy's law.
