•3D morphologies and time-dependent parameters of the hydrate shell are obtained.•Water is more mobile than gas in hydrates in the diffusion-controlled growth stage.•Protrusions growth on the outer surface of a hydrate shell is due to water permeation.•Effective diffusion coefficients of gas and wat...
