Title: The Effect of Heterogeneity on In-Situ Combustion: The Propagation of Combustion Fronts in Layered Porous Media

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/795238· OSTI ID:795238

This report extend the approach to heterogeneous systems, by considering the simpler case of in-situ combustion in layered porous media (and particularly to a two-layer model). Analytical models were developed to delineate the combined elects of fluid flow, reaction and heat transfer on the dynamics of combustion fronts in layered porous media, using as parameters the thermal coupling between the layers, the heat transfer to the surroundings and the permeability contrast.
