Numerical investigation on the suffusion of the methane hydrate-bearing sediments under different methane hydrate saturations and environmental conditions using CFD-DEM
Key Points
Suffusion dynamics of methane hydrate-bearing sediments vary significantly with changes in saturation levels.
Investigation reveals that sediments exhibit different properties under varied environmental conditions.
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and discrete element method (DEM) were used to analyze behaviors in this context.
Findings highlight the complex interactions affecting stability, suggesting considerations for future studies in geotechnical engineering.
