Abstract

Stationary spherical waves of gas combustion in porous media were studied theoretically and experimentally. It is shown that in spherically convergent and divergent gas flows, the waves differ in the type of stability: they are stable in a divergent flow and unstable in a convergent flow. A mathematical model for standing spherical waves is proposed that establishes the dependences of the coordinate of a standing wave on the gas-flow rate, mixture composition, and parameters of the porous medium and the gas and describes the experiment adequately. It is shown that allowance for heat losses leads to the appearance of limits of existence for standing spherical waves.
