Features of Nonstationary Filtration Combustion Wave Propagation in a Model One-Layer Porous Medium

Abstract

Temperature characteristics of a filtration combustion wave propagating upstream against a fresh mixture in a one-layer porous medium is studied experimentally using thermal imaging. The design of a model porous burner allows one to obtain data on the time evolution of the temperature distribution of the solid phase at the pore scale. It is shown that the macroscale propagation of a flame is accompanied by local distortions of its front and the emergence and movement of hot spots and low-temperature regions at the scale of several pores. The most common pattern of the local dynamic behavior of the filtration combustion wave is identified and described.
