Vibrational and Inertial Effects of Methane Hydrates in the Failure of a Pipeline

Abstract:

The scientific community involved in the study of the gas storage processes faces with the problem of the gas hydrates. In fact when the natural gas goes in contact with liquid water the methane hydrates take place; such hydrates can be considered as a solid structure which could abrupt partially or totally a gas pipeline. In such cases, the differential pressure across the plug can put it in movement producing catastrophic scenarios in the whole plant. In this work a parametric analytical analysis was conducted in order to define the plausible kinematic conditions of the hydrates mass. Once selected an opportune set of boundary conditions, some of the consequences of the motion of hydrates were taken into account, such as the amplification of the displacements related to resonance phenomena, the inertial effects and impacts against the pipe internal walls.
