A two-dimensional mathematical model of the in situ combustion process involves a set of nonlinear partial differential equations. These equations are discretized in implicit finite-difference form. The resulting set of nonlinear algebraic equations are solved for each time-step by use of a Newton-Raphson procedure. Each Newton iteration produces an equation of the form
