Abstract

A non-adiabatic thermal model of combustion is presented. The model admits ignition and extinction waves as exact solutions. The shape of these waves and their speed are determined numerically. Phase plane equations are used to understand the uniqueness of the wavespeeds and to determine watershed criteria for initial conditions.
