3 Homogeneous System Simulation
The model simulation was validated using experimental data from a combustion tube
reported in the work from Kumar ( 1987 ). In the experiment, a sand pack (mixture of
oil, water and sand) was put in the tube. An electrical igniter was used at the top of
the tube in order to generate a combustion front that propagates along the tube. For
more information, we refer the reader to the work of Kumar ( 1987 ).
