Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a numerical simulation method and system for coupling pipe turbulent flow chemical crystallization based on dynamic mesh, belonging to the technical field of hydrology and water resources. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, a large number of tunnel projects have been built in karst areas in China. The hydrogeological conditions in karst areas are complex, and tunnel water seepage and gushing disasters are frequent. Tunnel construction often requires a supporting drainage system. At present, there are various forms of tunnel waterproof and drainage designs in the industry.

[0003] However, in the actual production process, there is a lack of systematic research on the numerical simulation technology for predicting the dynamic process of crystal blockage in tunnel drain pipes and the precise control technology. The key scientific problem of drain pipe crystal blockage is to study the hydrodynamic characteristics and reactive solute transport process in the karst system in the drain pipe. Since the crystal blockage process is a complex process of fluid transport and chemical reaction coupling among various ions in karst groundwater, it is an extremely complex non-linear reactive solute transport system, including the multi-field coupling process of the seepage dynamic field in the rock pores during the karst groundwater seepage process, the dispersion field of solutes in low-permeability heterogeneous media, the water-rock interaction between karst groundwater and rock minerals, and the reactive chemical dynamic field generated by the dissolution-precipitation process of soluble salt components.

[0004] Studying the complex process of fluid transport and geochemical reaction coupling during the crystal blockage process, and then constructing a three-dimensional karst tunnel drainage system and reactive solute transport are the key technical means for accurately depicting the dissolution-precipitation during the crystal blockage process, and also the basis for realizing the precise quantification of crystal blockage.

[0068] Embodiment 2: The present invention provides a numerical simulation method for turbulent chemical crystallization coupling in pipes based on dynamic meshes. The embodiment of the present invention takes the established ideal model of karst tunnel drainage pipes as an example.

[0069] 1) Conceptual model of karst tunnel drain pipe

[0070] According to the indoor test design in the literature research, a conceptual model of the drain pipe with the same physical parameters and hydraulic characteristics as the actual scenario is established. As Figure 2 shown, the model is in a "T" shape. The longer section is the longitudinal pipe, and the shorter section is the transverse pipe. The left end of the longitudinal pipe is the inflow boundary, the right end is the outflow boundary, and the outlet of the transverse pipe is the outflow boundary. The main physical parameters are shown in Table 1. The length of the drainage pipe is 0.3 m, and the pipe diameter is 0.02 m. It is set that the left side of the longitudinal pipe is the given velocity inflow boundary, and the right side of the longitudinal pipe and the outlet of the transverse pipe are free outflow boundaries. In addition, the left side boundary of the longitudinal pipe is the given concentration boundary, and the right side of the longitudinal pipe and the outlet of the transverse pipe are free outflow boundaries. Other hydrodynamic and hydrochemical parameters in the model are shown in Table 2. The simulation duration is 100 d, and the time discretization is set with a given time step Δt = 1 d. The chemical components during the simulation include H2O, Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , H + ,, HCO - 3, CO3 2- and related aqueous complexes. The mineral components are mainly calcite, dolomite, quartz, albite, orthoclase, muscovite, etc.

[0074]

[0075] 2) Chemical Reaction System during Crystallization Blockage

[0076] When high-concentration karst groundwater flows into the drainage pipe, Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , CO3 2- , HCO3 - , CO2, H2O and other ions jointly participate in the reaction process in the system, mainly involving the dissolution-precipitation process of CaCO3.

[0077] The dissolution and precipitation of minerals controlled by thermodynamic equilibrium are judged by the mineral saturation index (SI). The SI is expressed by the following formula:

[0078]

[0079] Among them, SI is the saturation index, IAP is the ion activity product, and K sp is the solubility product constant. If SI < 0, it means the mineral is not saturated; if SI = 0, it means the mineral is not saturated; if SI > 0, it means the mineral has precipitated

[0080] The dissolution and precipitation of minerals controlled by reaction kinetics are represented by the mineral reaction rate. The calculation parameters of the mineral composition and the mineral reaction kinetics rate in the model are shown in Table 3.

[0081] Table 3 Calculation Parameters of Mineral Reaction Kinetics Rate

[0082]

[0083] Note: The superscripts a and b represent the dissolution of minerals under the action of neutral mechanism (spontaneous) and acidic mechanism respectively.

[0084] 3) Determine the Control Equation

[0085] A) The standard k-ε turbulence model is used to calculate the flow field, and the form of the control equation is:

[0086]

[0087]

[0088] Among them, ρ is the fluid density, u is the flow velocity, p is the pressure, I is the turbulence intensity, K is the viscous stress, F is the volume force, μ is the fluid dynamic viscosity, μ Tis the turbulent kinematic viscosity, is the Lagrangian operator, k is the turbulent kinetic energy, and ∈ is the turbulent dissipation rate.

[0089] In the formula, ρ is the fluid density, u is the flow velocity, p is the pressure, I is the turbulence intensity, K is the viscous stress, F is the body force, μ is the dynamic viscosity of the fluid, μ T is the turbulent kinematic viscosity, is the Lagrangian operator, k is the turbulent kinetic energy, and ∈ is the turbulent dissipation rate.

[0090] B) The concentration field is solved using the standard convection-dispersion equation, and the form of the governing equation is:

[0091]

[0092] In the formula, J j is the diffusion flux, c j is the concentration at node j, u is the flow velocity, R j is the source-sink term, D j is the diffusion coefficient.

[0093] C) The chemical reaction field is solved using the net deposition rate (i.e., deposition rate minus erosion rate) model proposed by Kern and Seaton.

[0094] m = m d - m r (7)

[0095] a) The ion diffusion model proposed by Hasson et al. is adopted:

[0096]

[0097] k R = k R0 exp(-E / RT F ) (9)

[0098] In the formula, m d is the deposition rate, β is the convective mass transfer coefficient, k R , k R0 are the surface reaction rate constants, c f , c s are the concentration of CaCO3 in the pipe and the saturation concentration of CaCO3 respectively, E is the activation energy, R is the molar gas constant, T F is the temperature of the scale layer surface.

[0099] b) The model proposed by Bohnet is adopted:

[0100]

[0101] In the formula, m ris the erosion rate, u is the flow velocity, and m f is the fouling mass per unit area, β is the linear expansion coefficient, and T w and T f are the pipe wall temperature and the fluid temperature respectively, and d P is the crystal particle size.

[0102] 4) Establish the dynamic mesh equation

[0103] Based on the dynamic mesh method, the boundary movement speed is specified through a user-defined UDF to describe the displacement change of the moving boundary. Since the boundary will move and deform, the moving boundary smoothing process is required:

[0104]

[0105] v mbs = δ mbs |v0|hH (12)

[0106]

[0107] where v0 is the specified normal grid velocity, v mbs is the grid smoothing velocity, δ mbs is the moving boundary smoothing adjustment parameter, h is the grid cell size (unit: m), H is the average surface curvature (unit: 1 / m), is the surface gradient operator.

[0108] 5) Analysis of the simulation results of the crystallization blockage of the drain pipe in the karst tunnel

[0109] Figure 3 and Figure 4 show the flow field distribution map and the CaCO3 concentration field distribution map in the drain pipe at the end of 100d obtained by solving under the set working conditions respectively. Analysis Figure 3 and Figure 4 shows that the flow velocity in the drain pipe calculated by the model gradually decreases from the inlet section to the outlet section, while the concentration of generated CaCO3 gradually increases from the inlet section to the outlet section. When the flow velocity is small, the erosion rate is also small. At the same time, the larger the amount of CaCO3 generated, the larger the deposition rate. Compared with the inlet section, the net deposition rate m at the outlet section under low flow velocity and high concentration conditions is larger, that is, the crystallization blockage situation at the outlet section is more serious. And compared with the vertical pipe, due to the sharp change in the water flow direction in the horizontal pipe, the flow pattern changes violently and the kinetic energy loss is greater. Therefore, the flow velocity in the horizontal pipe is less than that in the vertical pipe. And according to Figure 4 it can be known that the concentration of generated CaCO3 in the horizontal pipe is greater than that in the vertical pipe at the same time. Similarly, it can be known that the net deposition rate in the horizontal pipe is larger, that is, the blockage situation in the horizontal pipe is more serious than that in the vertical pipe. This result is consistent with the on-site investigation results, further proving the reliability of the established numerical model.

[0110] Figure 5 is the distribution diagram of CaCO3 concentration field in the drain pipe; Figure 6 is the change curve of CaCO3 deposition / erosion rate; It can be seen from Figure 5 and Figure 6 that as the CaCO3 crystallization process continues, the deposition rate decreases slightly but the change range is not large; while the erosion rate has changed significantly. At the initial stage of the crystallization process, the erosion rate increases from almost 0 to 2×10 -7 kg / (m 2 ·s) in a short time, with a large change range, and then maintains a relatively stable growth. At the initial stage, with the formation of the crystallization layer, the effective flow area of the pipeline decreases, resulting in an increase in the flow velocity, and the shear force of the fluid on the crystallization layer increases, so the erosion rate gradually increases. When the CaCO3 crystal grains begin to adhere to the inner wall of the pipeline, their crystal grain size is still small, and the adhesion force with the pipe wall is relatively weak, and it is easily knocked off by water molecules and separated from the wall surface. Only when the crystal grain size is large, the adhesion force between the crystal grains and the wall surface can be stably adsorbed on the wall surface. Although the erosion rate gradually increases during this stage, it can be seen from Figure 5 that it is always less than the deposition rate of CaCO3. According to the net deposition rate calculation formula, it can be known that although the net deposition rate gradually decreases, it is always positive, indicating that within 0 - 100 d, the crystallization deposition process in the drain pipe is continuously proceeding, and a large amount of CaCO3 generated in the fluid crystallizes and precipitates. From the change curve of the deposition rate and the erosion rate, it can be speculated that when the time scale is long enough, if the drain pipe is not completely blocked at the end of the stress period, the deposition rate and the erosion rate will tend to be equal, at which time the net deposition rate is 0, and the CaCO3 crystallization process no longer occurs in the pipeline, and the blockage degree of the drain pipe reaches the maximum value.

[0111] Figure 7 –9 is the change trend diagram of the crystallization rate when changing the temperature, inlet flow rate and inflow concentration. It can be seen from the figure that when changing the temperature, inlet flow rate and ion inflow concentration, the crystallization rate of CaCO -3 will change significantly. When the temperature increases from 283.15K to 303.15K, the value of the CaCO3 crystallization rate after the change amplitude stabilizes increases from almost 0 to 5×10 -7 kg / (m 2 ·s), indicating that the crystallization rate of CaCO3 in the drain pipe is positively correlated with the temperature; when the inlet flow rate increases from 0.5m / s to 0.9m / s, the value of the crystallization rate after the change amplitude stabilizes increases from 2.0×10 -7 kg / (m 2·s) is reduced to a negative value, indicating that the CaCO3 crystallization rate is negatively correlated with the inlet flow rate (it should be noted that the negative value here is a theoretical value. In fact, when the crystallization rate is equal to 0, the deposition rate is equal to the erosion rate, and crystallization no longer occurs at this time); when the ion inflow concentration increases from 6.5 mol / m 3 to 8.5 mol / m 3 , the CaCO3 crystallization rate value after the change amplitude becomes stable increases from nearly 0 to 2.0×10 -7 kg / (m 2 ·s), indicating that the CaCO3 crystallization rate is positively correlated with the ion inflow concentration. It shows that in the actual prevention and control of tunnel drainage system blockage, controlling temperature, flow rate and concentration plays an important role in the prevention and control effect.

[0112] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, several improvements and deformations can be made, and these improvements and deformations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
