Large-scale model test study on the water pressure resistance of construction joints of karst tunnel linings

Model tests and numerical calculations were adopted based on the New Yuanliangshan tunnel project to investigate the water pressure resistance of lining construction joints in high-pressure and water-rich karst tunnels.A large-scale model test was designed and conducted,innovatively transforming the external water pressure of the lining construction joint into internal water pressure.The effects of the embedded position and waterstop type on the water pressure resistance of the construction joint were analyzed,and the reliability of the model test was verified via numerical calculations.The results show that using waterstops can significantly improve the water pressure resistance of lining construction joints.The water pressure resistance of the lining construction joint is positively correlated with the lining thickness and embedded depth of the waterstop.In addition,the type of waterstop significantly influences the water pressure resistance of lining construction joints.The test results show that the water pressure resistance of the embedded transverse reinforced waterstop is similar to that of the steel plate waterstop,and both have more advantages than the rubber waterstop.The water pressure resistance of the construction joint determined via numerical calculations is similar to the model test results,indicating that the model test results have high accuracy and reliability.This study provides a reference for similar projects and has wide applications.

Theoretical analysis of influencing factors on resistance in the process of gas migration in coal seams

Inspired by previous resistance models for porous media, a resistance expression of gas migration within coal seams based on the ideal matchstick geometry, combined with the Darcy equation and the modified Poiseuille equation is proposed. The resistance to gas migration is generally dynamic because of the variations in adsorption swelling and matrix shrinkage. Due to the limitations of experimental conditions,only a theoretical expression of resistance to gas migration in coal is deduced, and the impacts of tortuosity, effective stress and pore pressure on the resistance are then considered. To validate the proposed expression, previous data from other researchers are adopted for the history matching exercise, and the agreement between the two is good.

Numerical and Experimental Investigation of the Aero-Hydrodynamic Effect on the Behavior of a High-Speed Catamaran in Calm Water

In this paper,the effect of water and air fluids on the behavior of a planing catamaran in calm water was studied separately in calm water by using experimental and numerical methods.Experiments were conducted in a towing tank over the Froude number range of 0.49–2.9 with two degrees of freedom.The model vessel displacement of 5.3 kg was implemented in experimental tests.Craft behavior was evaluated at the displacements of 5.3,4.6,and 4 kg by using the numerical method.The numerical simulation results for the hull’s resistance force were validated with similar experimental data.The fluid volume model was applied to simulate two-phase flow.The SST k-ωturbulence model was used to investigate the effect of turbulence on the catamaran.The results showed that in the planing mode,the contribution of air to pressure resistance increased by 55%,40%,and 60%at the mentioned displacements,whereas the contribution of air to friction resistance was less than 15%on average.The contribution of the air to the total lift force at the abovementioned displacements exceeded 70%,60%,and 50%in the planing mode but was less than 10%in the displacement mode.At the displacements of 5.3 and 4 kg,the area under the effect of maximum pressure moved around the center of gravity and caused porpoising longitudinal instability at the Froude numbers of 2.9 and 2.4,respectively.However,at the displacement of 4.6 kg,this effect did not occur,and the vessel maintained its stability.

Resistivity response to the porosity and permeability of low rank coal

Laojunmiao coal samples from the eastern Junggar basin were studied to understand the relationship between coal resistivity and the physical parameters of coal reservoirs under high temperatures and pressures.Specifically,we analysed the relationship of coal resistivity to porosity and permeability via heating and pressurization experiments.The results indicated that coal resistivity decreases exponentially with increasing pressure.Increasing the temperature decreases the resistivity.The sensitivity of coal resistivity to the confining pressure is worse when the temperature is higher.The resistivity of dry coal samples was linearly related to φ~m.Increasing the temperature decreased the cementation exponent(m).Increasing the confining pressure exponentially decreases the porosity.Decreasing the pressure increases the resistivity and porosity for a constant temperature.Increasing the temperature yields a quadratic relationship between the resistivity and permeability for a constant confining pressure.Based on the Archie formula,we obtained the coupling relationship between coal resistivity and permeability for Laojunmiao coal samples at different temperatures and confining pressures.

Experimental investigation on continuous N_(2) injection to improve light oil recovery in multi-wells fractured-cavity unit

The purpose of this experimental study is to evaluate the feasibility and oil recovery efficiency of continuous N_(2) injection in a multi-well fractured-cavity reservoir.In this study,the similar criterion of physical simulation was firstly discussed.In order to reveal the mechanism of remaining oil startup and production performance characteristic by continuous N_(2) injection,a visualized twodimensional fractured-cavity model and a three-dimensional pressure resistant model were designed and fabricated respectively based on the similar theory.And the 2D visualized physical experiments and 3D physical experiments were performed with the simulated oil and brine reservoir samples in Tahe oilfield.Four groups of experiments in 2D and 3D model were performed,each of which included bottom water depletion driving,water injection and N_(2) injection.The 2D visualized experiments indicated the main mechanism of N_(2) developing remaining oil was to occupy the high position and replace the attic oil due to gravitational differentiation.Furthermore,both the 2D and 3D experiments demonstrated that higher oil recovery factor could be achieved if N_(2) was injected through high positional wells.The 3D physical model is closer to the real reservoir condition,so the production performance can reflect the real field production process.This paper confirmed the efficiency of continuous N2 flooding in the light oil saturated fractured-cavity reservoir.
