Self-similar solutions of the problem of displacement of one gas by another in an axisymmetric case with a quadratic drag law

Abstract

A problem of piston-induced displacement of one gas by another in cracks (porous media) in an axisymmetric case with a quadratic drag law is studied. Self-similar solutions for determining the dynamic characteristics (velocity and pressure) of the displacing and displaced gases are constructed in quadratures. The velocity and pressure are studied as functions of a self-similar variable for several initial conditions and parameters.
