Mechanical Response of Nanocrystalline Ice-Contained Methane Hydrates
Key Role of Water Ice
Water ice and gas hydrates can coexist in the permafrost and polar regions on Earth and in the universe. However, the role of ice in the mechanical response of ice-contained methane hydrates is still unclear. Here, we conduct direct million-atom molecular simulations of ice-conta

The dynamic behavior of gas hydrate dissociation by heating in tight sandy reservoirs
A molecular dynamics simulation study
Knowledge on the kinetics of gas hydrate dissociation in microporous sediments is very important for developing safe and efficient approaches to gas recovery from natural gas hydrate (NGH) deposits. Herein, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are used to study the dissociation ki
