We present a first order stability analysis of a steam‐water front moving through a porous medium. The interplay between gravity, mobility and phase change are investigated. Several new phasical effects are observed in this dynamic study (e.g. oscillatory solutions, multiple solutions, etc.) and a number of specific limiting solutions are also considered.
