Abstract

As an innovative new method of natural gas hydrate extraction, the recovery of hydrate particles determines the efficiency of this method and is one of the key technical links. However, due to the limited hydraulic suction, the recovery rate of hydrate particles is low. Therefore, in order to improve the recovery performance of hydrate particles, a double jet recovery scheme was innovatively proposed. In order to explore the efficiency of solid particle recovery under different working conditions, experimental research was carried out, and the recovery flow field and particle recovery rate were studied by numerical simulation. The results show that with the increase in the distance between the front-end jetting and the recovery hole (l1) and the distance between the back-end jetting and the recovery hole (l2), the flow field effect between the double jets weakens, resulting in the particle deposition phenomenon becoming more obvious and the number of sand piles changing from 2 to 3. When the distance between the back-end jetting and the recovery hole(l2) is 300 mm, the particle recovery increases first and then decreases with the increase in the distance between the front-end jetting and the recovery hole (l1). When l1 = 300 mm, the recovery increases first and then decreases with the increase of l2. The results further enrich the mechanism of hydrate mining and help optimize the design of mining tools.
