The numerical models for the injection of warm water (in the temperature range from 300 to 340 K) into a cold porous formation are considered. Simplified models describing the processes of heat and mass transfer are proposed. The influence of the parameters determining the initial state of the porous medium, the boundary pressure, temperature and moisture content on the rate of propagation of hydrodynamic and temperature fields in the porous medium is investigated. It has been established that it is economically feasible to melt frozen soils saturated with ice and gas (air) at a sufficiently low temperature of the injected water (about 300 K).
