Flame spreading over pure methane hydrate in a laminar boundary layer is investigated experimentally. The free stream velocity (U∞) was set constant at 0.4 m/s and the surface temperature of the hydrate at the ignition (Ts) was varied between −10 and −80 °C. Hydrate particle sizes were smaller than 0.5 mm. Two types of flame spreading were observed; “low speed flame spreading” and “high speed flame spreading”. The low speed flame spreading was observed at low temperature conditions (Ts = −80 to −60 °C) and temperatures in which anomalous self-preservation took place (Ts = −30 to −10 °C). In this case, the heat transfer from the leading flame edge to the hydrate surface plays a key role for flame spreading. The high speed flame spreading was observed when Ts = −50 and −40 °C. At these temperatures, the dissociation of hydrate took place and the methane gas was released from the hydrate to form a thin mixed layer of methane and air with a high concentration gradient over the hydrate. The leading flame edge spread in this premixed gas at a spread speed much higher than laminar burning velocity, mainly due to the effect of burnt gas expansion.
