About of the injection of hydrate-forming gas into a layer of snow saturated with the same gas
The problem of injecting a hydrate-forming gas into a snow massif in the initial state saturated with the same gas are solved. Self-similar solutions describing the temperature and pressure fields, the distribution of snow, water, hydrate and gas saturation in the massif are constructed. It is shown that when forming a hydrate, depending on the initial thermobaric state of the ice-gas system, as well as the intensity of gas injection, it is possible to distinguish various characteristic zones in the filtration region that differ in their structure and length. It has been established that with an increase in the gas injection pressure and a decrease in the initial snow-saturation of the massif, the volume formation zone of the hydrate increases.
