Abstract
This article presents the coupling of a crystallization model of gas hydrate to a mechanistic gas-liquid slug flow model in order to understand: (i) heat transfer limitation processes due to reheating of mixture and consequent decrease of crystallization driving force; and (ii) mass transfer limitation due to porosity evolution of the crystalline structure. Application is in flow assurance of gas and oil production operations.
