Abstract : We investigate a chemically reactive front A+B→C involving the radial miscible displacement in porous media. It is a non-linear phenomenon that is mathematically modeled by Darcy’s law coupled with convection-reaction-diffusion equations. A chemical reaction may result in a change in the viscosity profile, which may lead to the interfacial instability known as viscous fingering, which occurs when a low-viscosity fluid displaces a high-viscosity fluid in a porous medium. The instability enhances the fluid mixing.
