考虑接触面积影响的粗糙节理渗流分析

节理中接触面积的存在使得渗流曲折效应更加明显,将对渗流产生显著影响。为了研究节理接触面积对节理渗流的影响,建立节理渗流概念模型,推导得到了节理渗流的接触面积影响系数;然后在节理渗流计算公式中引入该影响系数,得到了考虑接触面积影响的渗流计算公式。同时,由于接触面积的存在使得渗流曲折因子的计算更为复杂,在获得节理隙宽分布的基础上提出了计算节理渗流曲折因子的五点比较法。然后以人工大理岩节理试件为研究对象,在获得其三维表面形貌的基础上,一方面对其进行不同接触状态下5级法向应力作用下的渗流试验;另一方面,在根据节理试件的三维表面形貌数据计算节理的渗流平均曲折因子和接触面积比的基础上,分别采用考虑接触面积影响的渗流计算公式和Zimmerman计算公式对节理试件在不同法向应力作用下的渗流体积流量进行计算,并将计算结果与实测值进行比较。结果表明：考虑接触面积影响的渗流计算公式计算结果与实测值吻合较好,从而验证了考虑接触面积影响的渗流计算公式的正确性,而Zimmerman计算公式高估了节理的渗流流量。

等效水力隙宽和水力梯度对岩体裂隙网络非线性渗流特性的影响

等效水力隙宽和水力梯度是影响岩体裂隙网络渗流特性的重要因素。制作裂隙网络试验模型,建立高精度渗流试验系统;求解纳维-斯托克斯方程,模拟流体在裂隙网络内的流动状态,研究等效水力隙宽和水力梯度对非线性渗流特性的影响。结果表明,当水力梯度较小时,等效渗透系数保持恒定的常数,流体流动属于达西流动区域,流量与压力具有线性关系,可采用立方定律计算流体流动;当水力梯度较大时,等效渗透系数随着水力梯度的增加而急剧减少,流体流动进入强惯性效应流动区域,流量与压力具有强烈的非线性关系,可采用Forchheimer方程计算流体流动。随着等效水力隙宽的增加,区别线性和非线性流动区域的临界水力梯度呈幂函数关系递减。当水力梯度小于临界水力梯度时,控制方程可选立方定律;当水力梯度大于临界水力梯度时,控制方程可选Forchheimer方程,其参数A和B可根据经验公式计算得到。其研究结果可为临界水力梯度的确定及流体流动控制方程的选取提供借鉴意义。     

岩体裂隙网络非线性非立方渗流研究与应用

裂隙岩体渗流与岩体其他分析密切相关。岩体裂隙网络渗流理论最初主要是建立在线性立方定律的基础基上的,当裂隙水头较大或者流速较大时,裂隙水流不再满足线性立方定律,此时如仍用线性立方水流分析,无疑将会给渗流分析带来较大的误差,甚至引起工程事故。当裂隙水流不满足线性立方定律时,研究这种渗流自身的规律则是非常重要的,也是必要的。通过研究裂隙网络稳定和非稳定情况下的非线性渗流、非立方渗流规律,得出以下结论：①当渗流规律偏离线性渗流较远时,按非线性渗流计算出的水头分布和流量与线性渗流相差较大;当偏离不远时,计算出的水头分布和流量与线性渗流相差较小,可近似简化为线性渗流分析;②当渗流偏离立方渗流较远时,按非立方渗流计算出的水头分布和流量与立方渗流相差较大;当偏离不远时,计算出的水头分布和流量与立方渗流相差较小,可近似简化为立方渗流分析;③对于非线性非立方渗流,应综合考虑非线性与非立方两种因素对渗流的影响。

基于等效连续介质模型的单裂隙渗流数值模拟研究

基岩裂隙介质的空间变异性导致裂隙渗流情况十分复杂。在等效连续介质模型的基础上,建立数值分析模型研究了裂隙宽度和渗透系数对单裂隙渗流的影响。利用单裂隙立方定律对裂隙流量进行解析计算,并在单一变量研究原则下,利用MODFLOW创建了光滑平行板单裂隙介质的数值模型。据等效理论,将单裂隙宽度放大10倍的条件下,解析解计算结果比模拟结果高出6个数量级;不同裂隙宽度条件下,数值模拟结果与解析计算结果都表现出通过单个裂隙的水流量随着裂隙的宽度的增加而增加;不同渗透系数条件下,稳定流与非稳定流条件下得到的流量都随渗透系数的减小而变小。

Modified governing equation and numerical simulation of seepage flow in a single fracture with three-dimensional roughness

Roughness and tortuosity influence groundwater flow through a fracture. Steady flow through a single fracture can be described primitively by the well-known Cubic Law and Reynolds equation with the assumption that the fracture is made of smooth parallel plates. However, ignoring the roughness and tortuosity of the fracture will lead to inaccurate estimations of the flow rate. To obtain a more accurate flow rate through a rough fracture, this paper has derived a modified governing equation, taking into account the three-dimensional effect of the roughness. The equation modifies the Reynolds equation by adding correction coefficients to the terms of the flow rates, which are relative to the roughness angles in both the longitudinal and transverse directions. Experiments of steady seepage flow through sawtooth fractures were conducted. The accuracy of the modified equation has been verified by comparing the experimental data and the theoretical computational data. Furthermore, three-dimensional numerical models were established to simulate the steady flow in rough fractures with the triangular, sinusoidal surfaces and the typical joint roughness coefficient (JRC) profiles. The simulation results were compared with the calculation results of the modified equation and the current equations. The comparison indicates that the flow rate calculated by the modified equation is the closest to the numerical result.     

考虑非达西效应的酸蚀裂缝流场数值模拟

酸压改造后的酸蚀裂缝是储层流体的主要流动通道,研究流体在酸蚀裂缝中的流动规律是十分必要的。本文介绍了目前裂隙流动研究中的4种常用控制方程及各自的适用条件,确定了Navier-Stokes方程为酸蚀裂缝流场数值模拟的控制方程。为了分析酸蚀裂缝流场分布规律以及非达西效应对裂缝导流能力的影响,利用逆向工程技术对两种不同刻蚀形态的酸蚀岩样壁面进行了实体重构,并采用有限元数值模拟方法进行了不同流量下的酸蚀裂缝流动试验。结果表明：酸刻蚀形态和裂缝接触关系对流场分布的影响较大。隙宽分布平滑的均匀刻蚀裂缝,其流态稳定、曲折度低,但由于裂缝开度较窄且比表面较高,边界层效应明显,流体流动时产生的黏滞阻力较高;沟槽裂缝曲面粗糙,隙宽分布复杂,流体流动时流态不稳定,曲折度高,在高流量下会产生明显的涡流流动,增大惯性阻力。裂缝通道存在缩颈现象会引起流体绕流和多次加减速,产生额外的压力损耗。随着模拟流量的增大,压降与流量会逐渐偏离线性关系而呈现出非达西流动现象。酸蚀裂缝壁面越粗糙,产生非达西效应时的临界流量和临界雷诺数就越小,在相同流量下非达西效应就越强烈,导流能力下降速率更快。     

A pore-scale numerical model for non-Darcy fluid flow through rough-walled fractures

This paper aims at developing a pore-scale numerical model for non-Darcy fluid flow through rough-walled fractures. A simple general relationship between the local hydraulic conductivity and the flow velocity is proposed. A new governing equation for non-Darcy fluid flow through rough-walled fractures is then derived by introducing this relationship into the Reynolds equation. Based on the non-linear finite element method, a self-developed code is used to simulate the non-Darcy fluid flow through fractures. It is found that the macroscopic results obtained by the numerical simulation agree well with the experimental results. Furthermore, some interesting experimental observations can be reproduced.     

Partially to fully saturated flow through smooth,clean, open fractures: qualitative experimental studies

Fractures are both rough and irregular but can be expressed by a simple model concept of two smooth parallel plates and the associated cubic law governing discharge through saturated fractures. However, in natural conditions and in the intermediate vadose zone, these assumptions are likely violated. This paper presents a qualitative experimental study investigating the cubic law under variable saturation in initially dry free-draining discrete fractures. The study comprised flow visualisation experiments conducted on transparent replicas of smooth parallel plates with inlet conditions of constant pressure and differing flow rates over both vertical and horizontal inclination. Flow conditions were altered to investigate the influence of intermittent and continuous influx scenarios. Findings from this research proved, for instance, that saturated laminar flow is not likely achieved, especially in nonhorizontal fractures. In vertical fractures, preferential flow occupies the minority of cross-sectional area despite the water supply. Movement of water through the fractured vadose zone therefore becomes a matter of the continuity principle, whereby water should theoretically be transported downward at significantly higher flow rates given the very low degree of water saturation. Current techniques that aim to quantify discrete fracture flow, notably at partial saturation, are questionable. Inspired by the results of this study, it is therefore hypothetically improbable to achieve saturation in vertical fractures under free-draining wetting conditions. It does become possible under extremely excessive water inflows or when not free-draining; however, the converse is not true, as a wet vertical fracture can be drained.     

Numerical solutions for flow in porous media

A numerical approach is proposed to model the flow in porous media using homogenization theory. The proposed concept involves the analyses of micro‐true flow at pore‐level and macro‐seepage flow at macro‐level. Macro‐seepage and microscopic characteristic flow equations are first derived from the Navier–Stokes equation at low Reynolds number through a two‐scale homogenization method. This homogenization method adopts an asymptotic expansion of velocity and pressure through the micro‐structures of porous media. A slightly compressible condition is introduced to express the characteristic flow through only characteristic velocity. This characteristic flow is then numerically solved using a penalty FEM scheme. Reduced integration technique is introduced for the volumetric term to avoid mesh locking. Finally, the numerical model is examined using two sets of permeability test data on clay and one set of permeability test data on sand. The numerical predictions agree well with the experimental data if constraint water film is considered for clay and two‐dimensional cross‐connection effect is included for sand.

交叉裂隙水力学开度的计算及非线性水力特性研究

基于人工交叉裂隙模型,通过室内透水试验,得到了不同进口与出口组合时的流量和压力变化的关系曲线。同时结合串联裂隙水力学开度的计算公式,利用最小二乘法求解超静定方程组,计算交叉裂隙中每个裂隙单元的水力学开度。通过拓扑得到裂隙交叉点的几何尺寸,并求解Navier-Stokes方程,研究裂隙交叉对其水力特性的影响。结果表明,通过室内试验和串联裂隙水力学开度计算公式相结合的方法,可以准确计算每个裂隙单元的水力学开度。当雷诺数Re较小时,交叉点内部的流体成稳态层流流动;当雷诺数较大（比如Re≥100）时,可以观测到明显的漩涡,说明流体的惯性力远大于黏性力,经典的立方定律不再适用。对于1个进口2个出口的情况,出口的流量分配比率与雷诺数成二次函数关系,随着雷诺数的增大,流量分配比率的非线性越来越明显,其最大分配比率变化超过15%。出口的水力学开度e与初始水力学开度（即力学开度E0）的比值e/E0和雷诺数Re也具有二次函数关系。当Re10时,e/E0呈现出较强的非线性;利用该关系式可以得到修正的立方定律,从而进一步求解交叉裂隙的水力特性问题。     

Flow and contaminant dispersion analysis around a model building using non-linear eddy viscosity model and large eddy simulation

In the present paper, the analysis of concentration and flow fields around a model building was performed using two different approaches in turbulence modeling. In the first approach, the non-linear model of Ehrhard and Moussiopoulos was employed as one of the best cubic non-linear eddy viscosity models, and large eddy simulation was utilized in the second approach. The obtained results suggest that although the non-linear model has the ability to predict the anisotropic normal components of Reynolds stress tensor, due to time-averaged nature of its governing equations, it is incapable of estimating the correct values of Reynolds stress components and turbulent characteristics in the wake region of the model building. So the predicted turbulence kinetic energy values by the non-linear model are 45% smaller than those of large eddy simulation approach in the wake region behind the model building. Also different predictions of the wake region structure by the non-linear model and large eddy simulation approach revealed that elongation of iso-surface for \(\left\langle K \right\rangle\) = 1.5 in non-linear model is 56% more than that of large eddy simulation approach. The large eddy simulation approach shows much consistent behavior to the physics governing the flow compared to the non-linear model. Also good agreement observed between the results obtained through this approach and the experimental data. However, the disadvantage of large eddy simulation approach is the high computational costs.
