Abstract Understanding the interaction of CH4 with kaolinite is significant for researchers in the fields of coalbed CH4 and shale gas. The diffusion behaviors of CH4 in kaolinite with water contents ranging from 0 to 5 wt% have been analyzed by molecular dynamics simulations. The results of the simulations indicate that CH4 molecules can jump between adjacent holes in the kaolinite matrix. CH4 diffusion coefficient was very low (3.28 × 10−9 m2/s) and increased linearly with the increasing of water content. As the water content decreased, the value of radial distribution function first peak between CH4 and oxygen was larger, meaning that with lower water content, the interaction energy between CH4 and oxygen in kaolinite is stronger. The interaction between CH4 and water is linearly positively correlated with water content, in contrast, the interaction energy between kaolinite and water as well as between kaolinite and CH4 decreased linearly with increasing water content. On the other hand, the diffusion of CH4 molecules adsorbed on the surfaces also can be accelerated by the fast diffusion of water molecules in the middle micropore of the kaolinite.
