英文摘要 | Geological bodies have the characteristics of non-uniformity, discontinuity, fluid-solid interaction and so on. Seepage has duality in the instability and destruction of geological bodies. On the one hand, the fluid can weaken the structural surfaces such as joints and faults in geological bodies to aggravate the occurrence of geological disasters. On the other hand, hydraulic fracturing technology based on seepage has been successfully applied to oil and gas exploitation, prevention and control of impact pressure and other fields to improve engineering efficiency. Seepage is the main factor of deformation and rupture of geological bodies, but the interaction mechanism between fluids and geological bodies is still insufficient, so it is necessary to establish a high-precision numerical method for deformation and rupture of geological bodies under seepage.
An integrated numerical method of rigid body motion and elastic deformation of arbitrary elements is proposed for simulating the continuous deformation stage of geological body. An adaptive numerical method for rock mass rupture is developed to achieve accurate simulation of the cracks propagation paths inside geological body. A novel three-dimensional rock mass seepage-rupture coupling numerical method is established to depict the rock mass rupture process driven by fluid. The influence of hydraulic fracturing on the collapse of the hard roof of the coal seam is analyzed in the past.
Firstly, from the perspective of energy, an integrated numerical method of rigid body motion and elastic deformation of arbitrary element is proposed based on the Lagrange equation. In this method, the translational displacement, angular displacement of rigid body motion and strain of elastic deformation are selected as independent generalized variables. Based on the generalized variational principle, the geometric boundary conditions are applied. And the higher-order form of this method is developed to achieve accurate simulation of the stress field in the continuous deformation stage of geological body. Numerical examples such as pendulum motion, gravity field solving, and one-dimensional rod elastic wave propagation verify the correctness and reliability of the method in calculating rotational problems, static problems, and dynamic problems, and finally verify the accuracy of the higher-order form of the method in calculating continuous deformation through the cantilever beam case.Secondly, an adaptive numerical method for rock mass rupture based the above method is established. In this method, the fracture degree of the strain strength distribution criterion is selected as the basis for crack opening, and the crack propagation direction is judged according to the maximum tensile stress and Mohr-Coulomb composite strength criterion. A new meshing algorithm is developed based on the Back-Propagation neural network model to achieve accurate and efficient calculation of crack paropagation path inside the geological body. The accuracy of the crack propagation path in the form of tensile and shear failure is verified by numerical examples of three-point bending beam, four-point curved beam with a hole and uniaxial compression.
Thirdly, based on the spring element model, the three-dimensional seepage-spring element method is developed, and on this basis, a three-dimensional seepage-rupture coupling numerical method is established to solve the rupture problem of rock mass under fluid driven. This method uses the integrated calculation method of rigid body motion and elastic deformation of any element to calculate the deformation and rupture of rock mass, and seepage-spring element method is used to calculate the flow of fluid in the fracture channel and the filtration loss effect of fluid inside the rock mass. Through the comparison and analysis with four analytical solutions and one experimental phenomenon, the fracture pattern is predicted accurately and the poroelastic stress is caputred as well. In addition, the result of a disc with one injection hole suggests that this model can not only depict the fluid pressure distribution in fractures and pores of rock matrix, but also trace the initiation, propagation and intersection of cracks driven by fluid.
Finally, according to the numerical methods developed in this paper, the numerical simulation of hydraulic fracturing of 4-2 coal seam roof in Bourtai Coal Mine is carried out. Firstly, the Brazilian disc specimen was established according to the 4-2 coal seam, and the Brazilian disc splitting process was simulated numerically, and the results showed that the crack expansion morphology and the relationship of loading point force and the displacement were all in good agreement with the experimental solution. Secondly, the influence of hydraulic fracturing technology on the hard roof above the 4-2 coal seam was analyzed from the three aspects of fluid pressure, collapse step distance and vertical stress. The results indicated that the hydraulic fracturing technology could effectively weaken the rock strength of the roof plate, shorten the caving step, and achieve safe and efficient recovery of underground working face under hard coal seam roof. |
