针对高放射性核废物地下处置库近场饱和裂隙岩体环境,提出一种由分布热源、饱和单裂隙和两侧无限大岩石构成的三维水流-传热简化模型,建立了控制微分方程和基于拉氏变换域格林函数的积分方程;采用矩形单元把裂隙面域离散化,利用极坐标下的解析方法计算包含奇点的单元积分,利用数值方法计算分布热源和不包含奇点的单元积分,建立拉氏变换域的线性代数方程组,求解后,利用拉氏数值逆变换,计算任意时刻裂隙水和岩石的温度分布。对两个无内热源、流场确定的计算模型进行了计算,与仅考虑岩石沿裂隙面法向一维热传导的解析解进行了对比。计算分析了分布热源作用下饱和单裂隙岩体的三维水流-传热特征及其对裂隙水流速、岩石热传导系数和热源热流集度的敏感度。计算结果表明：与直接采用高斯数值积分相比,提出的解析法奇异积分精度较高;就裂隙水温度而言,单裂隙岩体三维水流-传热半解析计算方法与解析法得到的结果基本一致,但由于半解析计算方法考虑了岩石的三维热传导,使得裂隙水的上游温度较低,而下游温度较高;无分布热源作用时,岩石热传导系数越大,裂隙水温度越低;裂隙水流速越大,裂隙进水温度对裂隙水和岩石温度分布的影响越明显;由于受到裂隙水流动传热的作用,分布热源对裂隙水温度和岩石温度的影响在裂隙水流的下游区域比较显著。     

分布热源作用下裂隙岩体渗流-传热的拉氏变换-格林函数半解析计算方法

以裂隙岩体高放射性核废物地下处置库性能评估为目标,提出了分布热源作用下单裂隙岩体渗流-传热的简化概念模型、控制微分方程和拉氏变换-格林函数半解析法,为进一步采用半解析法计算分布热源作用下多裂隙岩体的渗流-传热问题奠定了基础。针对单裂隙岩体的渗流-传热问题,建立考虑岩石内热源和二维热传导的控制微分方程,利用拉氏变换域微分方程的基本解建立格林函数积分方程,采用解析法处理其中的奇点,通过数值积分和拉氏数值逆变换求解,计算任意时刻裂隙水和岩石的温度分布。通过算例,与基于岩石一维热传导假定的解析解进行了对比,并计算分析了分布热源作用下单裂隙岩体的渗流-传热特征及其对裂隙开度、岩石热传导系数和热流集度的敏感度。算例表明,（1）就裂隙水温度而言,由于考虑了岩石的二维热传导,拉氏变换-格林函数半解析解小于基于岩石一维热传导假定的解析解;（2）裂隙水温度和岩石温度对裂隙开度和热流集度的敏感度较大,对岩石热传导系数的敏感度较小。     

饱和稀疏裂隙岩体三维水流-传热过程中位移和应力的一种半解析计算方法

针对高放射核废深地质处置库近场环境,建立分布热源作用下饱和裂隙岩体三维水流-传热过程中位移和应力的一种半解析计算方法：采用Goodier热弹性位移势和Laplace变换计算由温度梯度产生的温梯位移和应力;考虑单一裂隙的情况,利用经典弹性力学的Boussinesq解和Cerruti解计算为满足边界条件的约束位移和应力,与温梯位移和应力叠加,可得总体热位移和应力;把裂隙面离散为矩形单元集合,采用极坐标系下的解析法计算包含奇点的单元积分,采用数值法计算与分布热源有关和不含奇点的单元积分。与基于裂隙面法向一维热传导假设的一种解析解对比,结果表明,半解析法与解析法的计算结果基本一致,但由于半解析法考虑岩石的三维热传导,因温度时空分布和演变的不同而导致不同的温梯应力。针对一个假想单裂隙岩体三维水流-传热过程,计算温梯位移和应力、约束位移和应力、总体位移和应力;结果表明,裂隙水流-传热可能对位移和应力的分布和演变有显著影响,距离分布热源较近的岩石因升温膨胀受到约束而出现压应力,而距离分布热源较远的岩石则可能因协调收缩受到约束而出现拉应力。     

稀疏不规则裂隙岩体模型三维水流-传热对温度和应力影响的试验研究

选取高放射核废物处置库重要预选场区甘肃北山地区的花岗岩,制作750 mm（宽）×300 mm（厚）×1 000 mm（高）的稀疏不规则裂隙岩体模型,该模型由18块花岗岩和竖向与斜向各两条裂隙组成,在裂隙及岩石内部埋置温度传感器、水压计、直角应变花,并在模型一侧设置局部热源,研究热源温度和裂隙水流速对岩石温度和应力的影响。结果表明,竖裂隙水主要从顶部进水口流向底部出水口,斜裂隙水主要从侧部进水口流向侧部出水口,竖裂隙与斜裂隙在交汇处存在微小流量交换;由于热源处在两条斜裂隙进水口之间,并且斜裂隙长度小于竖裂隙,岩石热传导与斜裂隙水流对岩石温度分布起控制作用,竖裂隙水流对岩石横向热传导起阻滞作用;由于热传导和水流传热的不规则性,上层岩石形成从左向右为主的传热路径,中层和下层岩石形成从上向下为主的传热路径;由于上、下层岩石温度梯度较小,岩石收缩受热拉应力,而中层岩石温度梯度较大,岩石膨胀受热压应力,大主应力的方向大致垂直于斜裂隙面与竖裂隙面的交线,岩石应力增量随斜平面方向的温度梯度增大而增大;热源温度越高,裂隙水流速越低,岩石温度越高、岩石应力越大,系统达到稳态需要的时间越长。     

壁面局部接触裂隙岩体水流-传热的一种理论模型及计算分析

核废物地质处置、地热开发、石油开采等工程领域都可能涉及稀疏裂隙岩体中的水流-传热过程。现有的裂隙岩体水流-传热理论模型和计算方法基本上都是以平行光滑壁面裂隙模型为基础的,没有考虑裂隙的壁面局部接触对水流、水-岩热交换以及岩体传热的影响。针对粗糙壁面裂隙水流过程,阐述了基于Stokes方程的Reynolds润滑方程及Hele-Shaw裂隙模型,采用MATLAB软件中的PDE工具求解,并与Walsh的等效水力开度公式进行对比;分析壁面局部接触裂隙水流-传热与填充裂隙水流-传热的相似性,提出了瞬时局部热平衡假设的适用条件,并在裂隙局部接触体传热满足Biot数条件的前提下,计算分析裂隙局部接触体与水流之间的局部热平衡时间及其影响因素;在裂隙局部接触体与水流之间满足瞬时热平衡假设的前提下,利用填充裂隙水流-传热的解析解,计算了壁面局部接触裂隙水及两侧岩石的温度分布,并分析了裂隙局部接触面积率、裂隙开度、裂隙水平均流速对岩石温度和裂隙水温度的影响特征,结果表明：（1）在设定条件下,由于裂隙局部接触体与裂隙水流之间的热交换,裂隙水流对其两侧岩石温度的影响范围随接触面积率的增大而减小,裂隙两侧岩石对裂隙水流温度的影响程度随接触面积率的增大而增大;（2）裂隙开度和裂隙水流速对岩石温度和裂隙水温度的影响方式的影响是一致的,即由于裂隙水流量随裂隙开度和裂隙水流速的增大而增大,裂隙水流对其两侧岩石温度的影响范围随裂隙开度和裂隙水流速的增大而增大,裂隙两侧岩石对裂隙水流温度的影响程度随裂隙开度和裂隙水流速的增大而减小。     

米尺度裂隙岩体模型水流-传热试验的数值模拟分析

为了研究高放射性核废物地下处置库近场的水流-传热耦合问题,采用国内高放废物地下处置库预选场址--甘肃北山地区的花岗岩石块体,加工组合成米尺度的规则裂隙岩体模型,设置边界热源和裂隙水流,试验模拟裂隙水水流与传热之间的相互作用。作为该室内模型试验的前期理论研究,采用等效孔隙介质数值模型,着重分析了裂隙开度、裂隙流量和热源功率对流场和温度场的影响。在设定条件下,计算分析表明：热传导和裂隙水水流由热源作用初期的不耦合很快转化为耦合;不流动的裂隙水主要表现为热存储和热传导,而流动的裂隙水还引起流动传热和水与岩石之间的对流换热,使岩体温度场明显不同于单纯热传导的情况;如果保持裂隙水流量不变,则裂隙开度的变化对水流-传热影响不大;如果保持裂隙水流速不变,则裂隙开度的变化对水流-传热影响显著;热源功率越大,通过裂隙水的热流量越大,裂隙水压强越大,而当温度超过100 ℃时,裂隙水会因汽化而压强显著增大;加热7 d时,热量的输入和输出几乎相等,裂隙水流带走的热量接近热源供给的热量,模型系统基本达到了热平衡。     

稀疏非正交填充裂隙岩体水流—传热—应力模型与离散元模拟

为研究填充裂隙水流速度对岩体温度和应力的影响,选取甘肃北山地区的花岗岩,制作了稀疏非正交裂隙岩体模 型,采用河砂填充裂隙后进行模型试验;并对模型试验进行离散元数值模拟,分析了模型试验所测岩体温度和热应力与数 值模拟结果的差异和原因。结果显示：填砂裂隙强化了裂隙介质的热导能力,无填充时岩体温度和热应力比填砂时低;模 型试验和离散元模拟均表明,岩体温度和岩体应力随裂隙水流速度增大而减小,但是系统达到稳态所需要的时间变短;模 型试验中斜裂隙水流对温度场起主要作用;由于现有3DEC软件不能考虑水的热物性参数随温度的变化,进而产生自然对 流换热,斜裂隙水流和靠近热源侧的竖裂隙水流对温度场起主要作用。     

填砂裂隙岩体渗流传热模型试验与数值模拟

选取中国高放射核废物地下处置库重要预选场区--甘肃北山地区的花岗岩,加工组合成规则裂隙岩体,将垂直裂隙用粒径为0.5～0.63 mm的砂土填充,进行了裂隙水渗流传热试验;对模型试验进行了数值模拟,进而计算分析了热源温度、裂隙水流速和裂隙开度变化对裂隙岩体模型稳态温度场的影响。模型试验表明,当热源温度维持在120 ℃时,裂隙水仍无相变,裂隙岩体模型稳态温度场分布规律与热源温度为95 ℃时一致;热源温度越高,热源的水平影响距离越大,模型达到稳态需要的时间越长;裂隙填砂加强了裂隙两侧岩石之间的热传导,热源的水平影响距离和模型到达稳态需要的时间均明显大于无填充裂隙岩体模型的情况。模型试验得到的岩体模型温度场与数值计算得到的岩体模型温度场规律一致。试验过程中裂隙岩体模型在边界上存在一些热量散失,无法与数值计算中的绝热边界条件等同,致使试验数据低于数值计算值,并且热源温度越高,两者之间的差异越大。模型试验和数值计算均表明,邻近热源侧的裂隙水渗流对模型的温度场分布起控制作用,而远离热源侧的裂隙水渗流则主要影响该侧的边界温度和模型达到稳态所需要的时间。数值参数敏感性分析表明,裂隙水流速与裂隙开度越大,裂隙水对水平传热的阻滞作用越明显。

FDEM-TH3D: A three-dimensional coupled hydrothermal model for fractured rock

This paper proposes a three-dimensional coupled hydrothermal model for fractured rock based on the finite-discrete element method to simulate fluid flow and heat transport. The 3D coupled hydrothermal model is composed of three main parts: a heat conduction model for the rock matrix, a heat transfer model for the fluid in the fractures (including heat conduction and heat convection), and a heat exchange model between the rock matrix and the fluid in the fractures. Four examples with analytical solutions are provided to verify the model. A heat exchange experiment of circulating water in a cylindrical granite sample with one fracture is simulated. The simulation results agree well with the experimental results. The effects of the fracture aperture, fluid viscosity, and pressure difference on the heat exchange between the fluid and rock are studied. Finally, an application concerned with heat transport and fluid flow in fractured rock is presented. The simulation results indicate that the 3D fully coupled hydrothermal model can capture the fluid flow and temperature evolution of rocks and fluids.     

裂隙岩体渗流耦合传热分析

Integral equation solution for three-dimensional heat transfer in multiple-fracture enhanced geothermal reservoirs

For the prediction of energy production from multiple-fractured geothermal reservoirs, previous models basically focused on the one-dimensional conduction in the rock containing evenly distributed fractures of equal scale. Here, a novel model is described to numerically investigate the three-dimensional heat transfer in geothermal reservoirs with unevenly spaced disc fractures of various sizes including the aperture and radius. In terms of the water flow through each fracture, an approximate analytical solution is obtained on the assumption that the water pressure disturbances, induced by the fracture margin and extraction (injection) operation, at the injection (extraction) well center and at different locations within the injection (extraction) well range were approximately equal. By the integral equation scheme for two-dimensional planar fractures, the three-dimensional problem of heat exchange is simulated without the reservoir discretization. The singular integral is analytically calculated in polar coordinates whereas the nonsingular integrand is numerically estimated by the Gaussian quadrature method in Cartesian coordinates. Compared with the one-dimensional simplification, the three-dimensional heat conduction remarkably alters the prediction of extraction temperature. In addition, the reservoir temperature field is also significantly influenced by the spacings and dimensions of fractures. The present model may be used for the estimation, design, and optimization of a geothermal reservoir.     

稀疏非正交填充裂隙岩体水流—传热—应力模型与离散元模拟

为研究填充裂隙水流速度对岩体温度和应力的影响，选取甘肃北山地区的花岗岩，制作了稀疏非正交裂隙岩体模 型，采用河砂填充裂隙后进行模型试验；并对模型试验进行离散元数值模拟，分析了模型试验所测岩体温度和热应力与数 值模拟结果的差异和原因。结果显示：填砂裂隙强化了裂隙介质的热导能力，无填充时岩体温度和热应力比填砂时低；模 型试验和离散元模拟均表明，岩体温度和岩体应力随裂隙水流速度增大而减小，但是系统达到稳态所需要的时间变短；模 型试验中斜裂隙水流对温度场起主要作用；由于现有3DEC软件不能考虑水的热物性参数随温度的变化，进而产生自然对 流换热，斜裂隙水流和靠近热源侧的竖裂隙水流对温度场起主要作用。     

低温裂隙岩体水-热耦合模型研究及数值分析

裂隙渗流会引起裂隙周围岩体中的温度场变化,在低温岩体中其影响更为明显;此外,裂隙水与周围低温岩石介质发生热交换会引起裂隙中的水冰相变过程发生,而裂隙水冻结将阻碍裂隙渗流,引起裂隙渗流场的变化。因此,低温下的裂隙岩体水-热相互作用是一个强耦合过程。考虑裂隙中的水冰相变过程和渗流作用,建立了低温冻结条件下裂隙岩体水-热耦合模型;以冻结法施工为例,考察了低温冻结过程中裂隙水渗流对裂隙冻结交圈的影响。研究结果表明：由于裂隙渗流的存在,距裂隙较远处岩石先冻结,裂隙冻结所需时间远大于周围岩石;裂隙宽度和裂隙水压力差都会影响冻结交圈时间,裂隙越宽、水压力差越大,裂隙冻结需要时间越长;随着冻结时间的推进,裂隙水渗流速度逐渐降低,当裂隙冻结后裂隙渗流停止。最后通过构建随机裂隙网络模型,利用所建立的水-热耦合模型考察了裂隙网络渗流对冻结交圈的影响,说明了在冻结法施工中考虑裂隙的重要性。     

Axisymmetric thermal consolidation of multilayered porous thermoelastic media due to a heat source

This paper presents an analytical layer element solution to axisymmetric thermal consolidation of multilayered porous thermoelastic media containing a deep buried heat source. By applying the Laplace–Hankel transform to the state variables involved in the basic governing equations of porous thermoelasticity, the analytical layer elements that describe the relationship between the transformed generalized stresses and displacements of a finite layer and a half‐space are derived. The global stiffness matrix equation is obtained by assembling the interrelated layer elements, and the real solutions in the physical domain are achieved by numerical inversion of the Laplace–Hankel transform after obtaining the solutions in the transformed domain. Finally, numerical calculations are performed to demonstrate the accuracy of this method and to investigate the influence of heat source's types, layering, and the porous thermoelastic material parameters on thermal consolidation behavior.

A statistically based numerical model for heat conduction in fractured rock masses

A computational procedure for simulating heat conduction in fractured rock masses is proposed and illustrated within the context of the finite element method. The procedure makes use of simple local models for conduction in the vicinity of a single open fracture. The local models allow effective thermal properties for fractured rock to be expressed in terms of fracture characteristics such as spacing, orientation and aperture. The distributions of fractures and fracture properties within the finiteelement model are derived from a statistical representation of geological field data. The procedure is demonstrated to satisfactorily reproduce heat transfer results across single fractures and provide an efficient means of representing conduction in formations with multiple fractures.     

Simulation of non‐planar three‐dimensional hydraulic fracture propagation

Hydraulic fracturing is the method of choice to enhance reservoir permeability and well efficiency for extraction of shale gas. Multi‐stranded non‐planar hydraulic fractures are often observed in stimulation sites. Non‐planar fractures propagating from wellbores inclined from the direction of maximum horizontal stress have also been reported. The pressure required to propagate non‐planar fractures is in general higher than in the case of planar fractures. Current computational methods for the simulation of hydraulic fractures generally assume single, symmetric, and planar crack geometries. In order to better understand hydraulic fracturing in complex‐layered naturally fractured reservoirs, fully 3D models need to be developed. In this paper, we present simulations of 3D non‐planar fracture propagation using an adaptive generalized FEM. This method greatly facilitates the discretization of complex 3D fractures, as finite element faces are not required to fit the crack surfaces. A solution strategy for fully automatic propagation of arbitrary 3D cracks is presented. The fracture surface on which pressure is applied is also automatically updated at each step. An efficient technique to numerically integrate boundary conditions on crack surfaces is also proposed and implemented. Strongly graded localized refinement and analytical asymptotic expansions are used as enrichment functions in the neighborhood of fracture fronts to increase the computational accuracy and efficiency of the method. Stress intensity factors with pressure on crack faces are extracted using the contour integral method. Various non‐planar crack geometries are investigated to demonstrate the robustness and flexibility of the proposed simulation methodology. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On the heat transfer coefficient between rock fracture walls and flowing fluid

Two analytical solutions are derived to model the heated flow-through experiments for granite fractures in the literature. The first model, which assumes an identical/continuous temperature between the bulk fluid and fracture surfaces, represents an upper bound solution of water temperature in rock fractures. The second model including the empirical parameter of heat transfer coefficient is used to calculate the average heat transfer coefficient based on the available experimental data. The obtained heat transfer coefficients are smaller than that from the thermal boundary layer theory for flat plates, but larger than the previous estimates. A power function is fitted to describe the relation between heat transfer coefficient and flow velocity. Both models show that water temperature increases non-linearly along fracture plane.     

Thermo-mechanical performance of layered transversely isotropic media around a cylindrical/tubular heat source

We develop a new numerical model based on a precise integration method to investigate the coupled thermo-mechanical performance of layered transversely isotropic media around a cylindrical/tubular heat source. To obtain the relational matrices of the extended precise integration method, we first convert the governing equations of the problem into ordinary differential matrix equations through the Laplace–Hankel transform. Then, the cylindrical heat source is divided into a series of plane heat sources, and the plane temperature load term is added to the state vector between layer elements. By combining the layer elements, we build a layered transversely isotropic numerical model containing a cylindrical heat source in the transformed domain. Finally, we solve the model in the transformed domain and obtain the solution of the problem in the real domain through the Laplace–Hankel transform inversion. The accuracy of this method is verified by comparing the solutions with the results of the analytical method and the finite element method. Then, we study the influence of the anisotropy of thermal parameters, the embedded depth, the length/radius ratio, the type of heat source and the stratification of the medium on the thermo-mechanical coupled performance.
