An innovative experimental apparatus for the analysis of natural gas hydrate erosion process using cavitating jet
Natural Gas Hydrate (NGH) develops and exists in pores of soil sediments under deep seabed and permafrost regions. A cavitation jet is an efficient method of rock breaking, especially for soft hydrate sediment erosion. This paper presents an experimental apparatus that was developed to synthesize NG...
