Abstract: The behavior of gas filtration combustion waves in the low-velocity regime has been studied experimentally with variation in the parameters of the gas flow and porous medium. It is shown that in transition processes there may be quenching or formation of a stable combustion-wave structure that does not correspond to the initial or final conditions. A nontrivial type of transition process accompanied by spatial transfer of the combustion zone is found.

Keywords: combustion, methane, filtration combustion.
