By considering whether different groundwater levels can form natural water seal conditions, the necessity of setting a water curtain is verified and the setting of the water curtain is optimized;

[0086] When h1=30cm, the water level in the trough is lower than the height of the cavern top, and a "drainage zone" will definitely be formed. At this time, the setting of a water curtain is essential; when h2=37cm, the water level in the trough is equal to the cavern height; when h3=60cm, the water level in the trough is higher than the height of the cavern top. The relationship between the water sealing performance of the cavern and the arrangement of the water curtain is studied under different groundwater level heights.

[0089] Example 2

[0090] The device described in the present invention is used as an experimental device for feasibility study of oil storage on an island. Salt water is loaded into a groundwater simulation device to simulate the erosion of seawater on an underground reservoir (island oil storage). Then a salt content meter is arranged at the drainage pipe 11 to monitor its salt content. The salt content meter is connected to a data acquisition center. When similar materials are buried outside the cavern, other monitoring means can be arranged to monitor the migration path of seawater to simulate the resistance of the water curtain to seawater. In the groundwater simulation device, the water head height in the formation model is changed to simulate the influence of different seawater pressures on the cavern, the closure of the water curtain holes is adjusted, and the spatial layout of the water curtain is changed.

[0091] The present invention proposes an experimental device for judging and optimizing the water curtain water seal effect under different engineering geological conditions. The device consists of a stratum model made of similar materials, a cave model made of porous materials, a water curtain model made of porous copper tubes, a water curtain hole model water supply device, a groundwater simulation device, and a data acquisition device. The device of the present invention can evaluate the necessity of setting up water curtain holes, quantify the relationship between the spatial layout of the water curtain and the water seal effect of the cave, and provide guidance for the optimal design of the water curtain. The device of the present invention only needs to change the type and similarity ratio of similar materials according to the engineering geological conditions of different underground water seal reservoirs, and change the "on" and "off" of the device to adjust the engineering geological conditions of various underground water seal caverns and the water curtain replenishment forms, and has good repeatability.
