Abstract: When hydrophobic particles are added to water, they form clusters by interparticle gas bridging. The hydrostatic, capillary and buoyancy forces acting on the submerged clusters can gradually mobilize the interparticle gas bubbles. As particles are… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract The micromechanical interactions between hydrate particles and water droplets play an important role in determining hydrate agglomeration, which is a crucial cause of hydrate blockages/bedding in deepwater gas-oil flowlines. The amount of hydrate converted… read more here.
