The invention belongs to the technical field of marine
natural gas hydrate resource exploration and development
engineering, and particularly provides a
hydrate saturation fine characterization device and method based on a
time domain reflection method.The device comprises a reaction kettle, a
dielectric property testing module and a
data collecting and
processing module; the
dielectric property testing module comprises a
time domain reflection tester and a
time domain reflection sensor
assembly which are connected, the time domain reflection sensor
assembly vertically penetrates through the bottom of the reaction kettle and is inserted into the reaction kettle, a marine
sediment sample is arranged in the reaction kettle, and the marine
sediment sample is virtually divided into a plurality of
layers in the length direction of the reaction kettle; the time-domain reflection sensor
assembly is composed of one or more groups of time-domain reflection sensors, each group of time-domain reflection sensors is composed of time-domain reflection sensors with the number equal to that of the
layers, the lengths of all the groups of time-domain reflection sensors are different, and the top ends of all the groups of time-domain reflection sensors are located at different
layers, so that the saturation degrees of hydrates at different positions in the
sediment sample can be obtained; the fine characterization of the saturation of the
hydrate in the sediment sample can be realized.
