Abstract

The solution was obtained for a problem of gas hydrate growth in water with dissolved gas. The rate of hydrate formation depends on gas diffusion to the contact with gas hydrate. Three versions of problem configuration were considered: planar, radial, and spherical symmetry. For these cases, the values of the self-similarity coordinate were obtained: this parameter controls the growth of gas hydrate in water with gas dissolved and the level of top temperature in the hydrate zone. Analysis was performed for temperature fields related to heat release during hydrate formation.
