Abstract

Two problems of axisymmetric gas (gas and water) flow through a reservoir which contains a heterogeneous mixture, namely, gas hydrate, ice (water), and gas, are considered. The exact solutions to the corresponding steady-state and quasi-steady-state nonlinear problems are found. The critical diagrams are constructed for various flow regimes. The characteristic distributions of the gas hydrate, ice (water), and gas saturations are shown for various values of the parameters.
