Numerical study on the deformation of soil stratum and vertical wells with gas hydrate dissociation

Gas hydrate (GH) dissociates owing to thermal injection or pressure reduction from the well in gas/oil or GH exploitation. GH dissociation leads to, for exam-ple, decreases in soil strength, engineering failures such as wellbore instabilities, and marine landslides. The FLAC3D software was used to analyze the deformation of the soil stratum and vertical wells with GH dissociation. The effects of Young’s modulus, internal friction angle, cohesion of the GH layer after dissociation, and the thickness of the GH layer on the deformation of soils were studied. It is shown that the maximum displacement in the whole soil stratum occurs at the interface between the GH layer and the over-layer. The deformation of the soil stratum and wells increases with decreases in the modulus, internal friction angle, and cohesion after GH dissociation. The increase in thickness of the GH layer enlarges the deformation of the soil stratum and wells with GH dissociation. The hydrostatic pressure increases the settlement of the soil stratum, while constrain-ing horizontal displacement. The interaction between two wells becomes significant when the affected zone around each well exceeds half the length of the GH dissociation zone.

Conjugate model for heat and mass transfer of porous wall in the high temperature gas flow

Heat and mass transfer of a porous permeable wall in a high temperature gas dynamical flow is considered. Numerical simulation is conducted on the ground of the conjugate mathematical model which includes filtration and heat transfer equations in a porous body and boundary layer equations on its surface. Such an approach enables one to take into account complex interaction between heat and mass transfer in the gasdynamical flow and in the structure subjected to this flow. The main attention is given to the impact of the intraporous heat transfer intensity on the transpiration cooling efficiency.

Effect of high stirring speed on the agglomerate behaviors for cohesive SiO2 powders in gas fluidization

The effects of superficial gas velocity and mechanical stirring speed on the precise regulation of flow regimes for cohesive SiO₂ powders (mean diameter is 16 μm) were experimentally investigated in a stirring-assisted fluidized bed. The results showed that compared with the agglomerates formed in the non-assisted fluidization of cohesive SiO₂ powders, the introduction of mechanical stirring could effectively reduce the size of agglomerates and well disperse the agglomerates during fluidization. The best regulation range of agglomerate particulate fluidization can be achieved at 600 rpm when agglomerate sizes were reduced to below 200 μm. Further investigation based on the operational phase diagram revealed that transformations of flow regimes were dominated by both stirring speed and gas velocity. The stirring applied enlarges the operational range of agglomerate particulate fluidization (APF) with a delayed onset of bubbling for cohesive particles. However, the exorbitant speed increases the collision velocity and contact area between small agglomerates, which results in the formation of unstable agglomerates and the whirlpool of powder.
