The present application relates to the technical field of
marine engineering geology research, and particularly relates to a deep-sea cold
spring system methane gas release simulation device and method based on PIV. The device comprises a stable pressure
gas supply module, a
simulation reaction module, a control collection module and a visual and PIV synchronous observation module. The stable pressure
gas supply module comprises a bubble generation reaction kettle and a membrane gas-
liquid pressure stabilizing device, and the membrane gas-
liquid pressure stabilizing device is connected in parallel on the
gas supply pipeline connecting the bubble generation reaction kettle and the
simulation reaction module. The simulation reaction module comprises a flexible
airbag valve
system and a cold spring environment reaction cabin
system, and the flexible
airbag valve
system is located at the air inlet of the cold spring environment reaction cabin system. The control collection module is used for controlling the bubble generation and directional release, and the visual and PIV synchronous observation module is located outside the cold spring environment reaction cabin system. The device can synchronously obtain the flow field structure,
hydrate generation process, and inversion vorticity,
shear rate, turbulence statistics, pressure field and acceleration, and provide a reliable experimental platform for revealing the bubble-
hydrate-
fluid coupling mechanism in the cold spring environment.
