Abstract
The heterogeneous oxidation of methane-air mixtures in a stagnation po int flow onto a platinum foil is investigated numerically and results are compared with experiments. The analysis includes a detailed reacti on mechanism in the gas phase as well as on the surface. The heterogen eous ignition occurring around 600 degrees C, extinction, and autother mal behaviour are interpreted in terms of elementary steps at the gas- surface interface.
