Abstract
We present a series of solutions describing the propagation of injected water through a geothermal reservoir accounting for both the effects of gravity and also boiling at the advancing front. These new similarity solutions provide new insight into the complex coupled flow driven by gravity and can be readily extended to account for the effects of surface tension which may cause some residual liquid to remain in the pores once the main front has descended.
