Thermodynamic and hydrodynamic constraints on overpressure caused by hydrate dissociation: A pore‐scale model

It has been suggested that volume expansion caused by hydrate dissociation in sediment pores can result in large overpressure, which in turn may destabilize the sediment and trigger massive submarine landslides. Here, we investigate the pressure evolution during thermally-induced dissociation, by me...
