The paper considers a numerical model of flow in a porous medium containing particles of a melting component (polymer). When heated, these particles swell, deform and fill the pore spaces, as a result of which the permeability is significantly reduced. The relationship between porosity and permeability is described by a simple Kozeny-Karman formula. Then, near the lower (inlet) boundary, a region with low permeability (i.e.agglomerate) is formed, the growth of which is determined by the conditions at the side wall and inlet boundaries. As a result of calculations, typical scenarios of porous medium blocking at different heating temperatures were obtained. It is shown that when heated through the wall, the polymer may decompose, so the porous medium partially restores its permeability. When heated by the inlet gas, agglomerate is much more stable, since it blocks the heating source.
