[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Water inrush is a common geological hazard in underground projects, particularly in complex pore-fracture dual media. This phenomenon is particularly frequent, posing significant challenges to projects such as tunnel construction, mining, and water conservancy projects. Water inrush not only poses a safety hazard to projects but can also cause severe economic losses and casualties. Therefore, studying the mechanisms of water inrush in pore-fracture dual media is of great theoretical and practical significance for predicting water inrush risks, implementing effective prevention and control measures, and ensuring project safety.

[0004] Current research has yielded some progress in analyzing water inrush. Traditional analytical methods typically rely on seepage theories for a single medium and fail to fully account for the complex coupling effects of pores and fractures. Simulation methods based on the discrete element method (DEM) can effectively describe the forces and motions in granular media, but they have limitations when addressing fracture structures and their effects on fluid seepage. Furthermore, while fluid dynamics calculations based on graph-based pipe network methods are highly efficient in addressing network topology, they struggle to accurately reflect particle motion in multiple media and its impact on fluid flow.

[0044] Step 5: Establish a coupled feedback mechanism between the medium model and the fluid pressure and flow distribution to update the interaction between particle motion and fluid migration in real time, thereby achieving simulation prediction of sudden water inrush.

[0045] As an embodiment, the different geological media disclosed herein may be porous media, fractured media, or porous-fractured dual media.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a water inrush simulation and prediction method applicable to different geological media is provided. When the medium is a pore-fracture dual medium, the method accurately simulates the mechanical behavior in the pore-fracture dual medium, efficiently handles water diffusion, pressure changes, and fluid-solid coupling processes, and solves the problems of existing methods such as low computational efficiency, inaccurate description of fracture deformation, and inability to effectively predict water inrush phenomena. The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0048] Step 1: Obtain the actual geological conditions and construct a pore-fracture dual medium model based on the particle discrete element method;

[0049] Specifically, based on actual geological conditions, a pore-fracture dual medium model was constructed using the particle discrete element method (DEM). This model simulates the contact and stress conditions of particles in the pore-fracture dual medium, generates information about the pore space, initial porosity, and initial fracture geometry, and calibrates the DEM based on field survey results. The specific process involves obtaining actual geological data based on field geological survey results. Based on the characteristics of the pore-fracture dual medium, the model's boundary conditions, material parameters, particle contact conditions, hydrological conditions, and particle size and distribution are set. The DEM model is then constructed and numerically calculated based on the actual initial stress field to simulate the mechanical behavior between particles and the evolution of the pore-fracture network. After the calculations are completed, the numerical results are compared with field data (surrounding rock pressure and displacement), and the DEM (pore-fracture dual medium model) is calibrated to ensure that the model accurately reflects the fluid seepage and mechanical properties in the pore-fracture dual medium. Improve the accuracy and reliability of the model in porous media simulation through comparison and calibration;

[0050] Step 2: By analyzing the displacement, deformation, and force changes of particle contacts in the pore-fracture dual medium model, the porosity, fracture geometry information, and pore-fracture connectivity are obtained;

[0051] Specifically, by calculating particle displacement and deformation, parameters such as porosity, pore connectivity, fracture distribution, and geometry are obtained, capturing the dynamic changes of the pore-fracture network and providing basic data for the graph-theoretic pipe network calculation model. The specific process is as follows: The pore network in the pore-fracture dual-medium model is composed of the spaces between particles. The movement of particles and changes in the forces acting on them affect the pore geometry and connectivity. When particle displacement or contact force changes significantly, the porosity and connectivity change accordingly. By tracking particle displacement and deformation in real time, the three-dimensional geometry of the pore network can be constructed. At the same time, by analyzing the contact relationships between particles, fracture regions can be identified. Fractures are typically composed of particles with reduced contact forces. When the contact force drops below a certain threshold, fractures begin to form or expand. Recording the positions of these low-contact-force particles can determine the location and morphology of the fractures, thereby forming the three-dimensional geometry of the fractures. The distinction between pores and fractures is primarily based on interparticle contact forces and geometry. Pores are formed by large spaces between particles and exhibit minimal contact force variation, while fractures are characterized by a significant decrease in contact force or a break, manifesting as separation and breakage between particles. The porosity, connectivity, and fracture distribution information captured from the three-dimensional geometry of pore networks and fractures serve as crucial foundational data, providing accurate support for fluid seepage calculations using graph-based pipe network methods.

[0052] When the tangential stress between particles is greater than their shear strength and the normal stress is greater than their tensile strength, the particles separate and break, forming new cracks.

[0053] (1)

[0054] (2)

[0055] in, F shear and F normal are the tangential stress and normal stress between particles, respectively; and are the maximum strength of particle bonding in the shear direction and the tensile direction, respectively; A is the cross-sectional area of ​​bonding.

[0056] Step 3: Based on the porosity, fracture geometry information, and pore-fracture connectivity, the topological structure of the pore-fracture dual medium model is constructed using the graph theory pipeline network method, and fluid dynamics calculations are performed to determine the fluid pressure and flow distribution;

[0057] Specifically, the extracted porosity, fracture geometry, and pore-fracture connectivity are input into the graph-theoretic pipe network method to construct the topological structure of the pore-fracture dual-medium model. Fluid dynamics calculations are then performed to determine the fluid pressure and flow distribution. The specific process is as follows: Under the pore-fracture dual-medium conditions, the geometric change data of the fractures and pores (such as node coordinates, pipe length, width, and permeability) must be packaged into a suitable data format, such as a matrix or table format, for rapid transmission to the graph-theoretic pipe network module for hydraulic calculations. The three-dimensional geometric structures of the fractures and pores are converted into the node and pipe systems of the graph-theoretic pipe network method through a multi-scale collaborative dynamic network partitioning and adjustment method. Different node-pipeline network partitioning densities are applied to different media regions, and the node-pipeline networks of the pores and fractures are coupled to ensure the coherence of the overall flow.

[0058] Furthermore, a multi-scale collaborative dynamic network partitioning and adjustment method is introduced to construct the node and pipeline system. The pores and fractures in the dual medium have significant scale differences. Therefore, it is particularly important to apply different densities of node-pipeline network partitioning in different medium regions. In addition, the node-pipeline networks of pores and fractures need to be coupled to ensure the coherence of the overall flow. The multi-scale collaborative dynamic network partitioning and adjustment method includes the following steps:

[0059] Step (1): Fracture scale refinement, specifically: In the fracture area, since the fracture provides the main fast seepage channel, a high-density, fine node-pipeline network is used to dynamically capture the geometric changes of the fracture (such as the opening and closing state) to ensure that the impact of the fracture on fluid migration can be accurately reflected.

[0060] Step (2): Pore scale optimization: In the porous medium area, based on the dynamic changes of fluid pressure gradient and pore structure, an adaptive network node density is applied to avoid the network being too dense, saving computing resources while maintaining sensitivity to pore structure changes.

[0061] Step (3): Dynamic coordinated adjustment: As the fluid migrates in the pores and fractures, the flow and pressure distribution at the pore-fracture interface are monitored in real time, and the connection relationship between regions of different scales is dynamically adjusted through the coupled node-pipe network to ensure the global coupling effect of the pore and fracture regions and the coherence of the overall flow.

[0062] Specifically, to improve the computational efficiency of the graph-theoretic pipe network method in pore-fracture dual media, computational resources are dynamically allocated based on the local behavior of the fluid in the dual medium, including:

[0063] 1) Adaptive Node Weight Adjustment: Dynamically adjusts the computational weight of each node based on the magnitude of the fluid pressure gradient and the importance of the flow path. For regions with more active flow (such as fracture intersections or pore-fracture interfaces), node weights are increased to obtain a more detailed flow velocity and pressure distribution; for regions with slower flow (such as deep within pores), node weights are decreased to reduce unnecessary computational overhead.

[0064] 2) Local computational acceleration: In localized areas of fracture expansion and pore closure, high-weight nodes are used to dynamically monitor fluid behavior, ensuring that computational focus is on the most critical fluid migration paths, thereby improving computational efficiency and accuracy.

[0065] Step 4: Introduce a mapping algorithm based on the nearest point search and a pressure interpolation method to feed back the fluid pressure and flow distribution information to the pore-fracture dual medium model, update the hydraulic conditions in the pore-fracture dual medium model, and realize the dynamic coupling of water flow and particle motion in the medium;

[0066] Specifically, information such as fluid pressure and flow calculated using the graph-theoretic network method is fed back into the particle discrete element model to update the hydraulic conditions in the pore-fracture dual medium and simulate the effects of fluid on particles. The specific process is as follows: the pressures calculated by the graph-theoretic network method act on the particles on the pore-fracture walls, and these pressures are converted into external loading conditions in the particle discrete element model. In the particle discrete element model, external pressures combine with the contact forces between particles to affect their displacement, rotation, and deformation, and may even cause them to rupture. Fluid pressure in local areas, especially at the tips of the pore-fracture network, can lead to stress concentrations, further causing the expansion and connectivity of pores / fractures. By processing these local pressures, the particle discrete element model calculates the forces acting on the particles and predicts the direction and speed of expansion of the pore-fracture network.

[0067] Furthermore, a mapping algorithm based on nearest point search and a pressure interpolation method are introduced to input the calculation results of the graph theory network method into the pore-fracture dual medium particle discrete element model. In order to accurately transfer the node pressure or flow information in the porous medium to the particle discrete element model, the KD-Tree nearest neighbor search algorithm can be used. First, a KD-Tree is constructed to efficiently find several nearest neighbor particles of each graph theory network node in the particle discrete element model. Then, based on the distance or other geometric relationship between each particle and the node (see formula (3)), the pressure or flow of the node is distributed to these particles according to a certain weight rule. This method can ensure the reasonable transmission of pressure between multiple particles and realize the dynamic coupling of water flow and particle motion in the porous medium.

[0068] (3)

[0069] in, p 、 q Represent the coordinate positions of the two particles respectively; d(p,q) Indicates the distance between them; k It is the spatial dimension.

[0070] Furthermore, in fractured media, when there are multiple possible contact points between the graph network nodes and the discrete element particles, interpolation can be used to distribute the pressure to multiple particles. The calculation formula is shown in (4). For example, weighted interpolation can be performed based on the distance between each particle and the graph network node. Particles that are closer are assigned more pressure, while particles that are farther away are assigned less pressure. Interpolation methods are helpful in dealing with pressure distribution problems on irregular fracture surfaces.

[0071] (4)

[0072] in, p k is the interpolated pressure on the kth particle; p i is the graph network node P i Pressure on d k is the particle k and the graph network node P i The distance; n is the graph network node P i Total number of particles exposed.

[0073] Step 5: Establish a coupled feedback mechanism between the pore-fracture dual medium model and the fluid pressure and flow distribution to update the interaction between particle motion and fluid migration in real time, thereby achieving simulation prediction of sudden water inrush.

[0074] Specifically, a feedback mechanism is established between the particle discrete element model and the calculation results of the graph theory network method to update the interaction between particle motion and fluid migration in real time. When the equilibrium condition is reached, the calculation is stopped to ensure the accuracy of fluid-solid coupling. The specific process is: through Python programming, the particle physical information (such as displacement, velocity, stress, etc.) in the particle discrete element model is obtained in real time. This information will be used in the graph theory network method model to dynamically update fluid dynamics related variables (such as water pressure, flow rate, etc.). At the same time, the flow and pressure change results in the graph theory network method model are transmitted back to the particle discrete element model in real time to update the water pressure conditions in the porous medium, thereby affecting the movement state of the particles. For example, if the water pressure calculated by the graph theory network method increases in the pores, the particle discrete element model will recalculate the forces between the particles based on this pressure and adjust their positions and velocities.

[0075] Furthermore, when the solid pressure and fluid pressure match and reach a dynamic equilibrium state, the coupled calculation is considered to have reached equilibrium, the deformation has reached a stable state, and the calculation results can be output. Formula (5) and Formula (6) are the judgment formulas for the matching of solid pressure and fluid pressure and the dynamic equilibrium judgment formula, respectively:

[0076] (5)

[0077] in, P soild Indicates the contact pressure between solid particles; P fluid Indicates fluid pressure; is the pressure difference threshold.

[0078] (6)

[0079] When the total energy change of the system is less than a certain threshold of the global energy change, the total energy change of the system tends to be stable, and it is considered that the interaction between the solid and the fluid has reached a state of equilibrium.

[0080] As an embodiment, a comprehensive analysis is conducted on the fluid pressure and flow distribution, particle movement, and pore-fracture network changes in the pore-fracture dual medium to complete the coupled calculation of fluid mechanics and solid mechanics in the porous medium. The specific process is: by analyzing the particle movement in the model, the dynamic evolution of the pore-fracture network during the fluid-solid coupling process is obtained, including phenomena such as the expansion, compression, and redistribution of pores and the opening and closing of fractures. The water flow pressure, flow, and velocity distribution calculated by the graph theory network method can be used to evaluate the water flow path in the pore-fracture dual medium and predict the occurrence of phenomena such as sudden water inrush. Combining the results of the particle discrete element model and the graph theory network method, the mutual coupling of water flow and pore network evolution is further analyzed.

When the geological medium is a porous medium, the method accurately simulates the mechanical behavior in the porous medium and efficiently handles the diffusion, pressure change, and fluid-solid coupling process of the water flow.
