Wet combustion: this method ... is a modification of the forward combustion process with the variation that water is injected with the air. The injection of water significantly increases the heat-transport capacity of the fluids passing through the burned-out region ... The injection of water also quenches the trailing edge of the combustion zone before all the fuel is consumed, thereby enabling a more rapid movement of the combustion zone through the reservoir. 3, record 7, English, - wet%20combustion
