An elementary discussion of forward smoldering
Abstract
We describe an elementary model of one-dimensional unsteady forward smoldering, purged of all unnecessary physics. Following work of Dosanjh and Pagni, a late time solution is constructed, characterized by two reaction fronts—an exothermic oxidation front, an unusual kind of diffusion flame; and an endothermic pyrolysis front. It is shown that the flame temperature and the ratio of the speeds of the two fronts relative to the solid are …
