[0002] With rapid economic development, our demand for coal and oil resources is increasing. However, traditional resources face increasingly serious environmental problems. On the other hand, geothermal energy is a clean and renewable energy source, and its development and utilization have received widespread attention.
[0003] Hot dry rock is a typical geothermal resource, mainly located in rock formations at depths of 3,000 to 10,000 meters below the Earth's surface. Research on rock damage under thermal stress is fundamental to geothermal reservoir development. During geothermal or deep energy extraction, rock damage and fractures caused by thermal expansion pose significant challenges to construction safety. Minerals with high thermal expansion coefficients (especially quartz) play a crucial role in the degree of thermal cracking. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the problems of rock damage and the resulting disruption to construction safety caused by thermal expansion and cracking, this invention is proposed.
[0005] Therefore, the problem to be solved by this invention is how to provide a model based on grains constructed using PFC2D software to simulate the microcrack propagation and mechanical response of rocks with different mineral compositions under high temperature conditions; analyze the relationship between thermal expansion and thermal damage of rocks with different mineral compositions; and establish a thermal damage prediction model for rocks with different mineral compositions.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0007] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for predicting thermal damage of rocks with different compositions based on PFC numerical research. The method includes: establishing a particle-based numerical model using PFC2D, wherein the numerical model uses a contact model; uniformly heating the rock boundary by applying temperature, performing mechanical experimental simulation of the rock under high temperature conditions, and then directly applying axial loading to obtain stress-strain curves and microcrack propagation; calculating thermal damage using elastic modulus damage, analyzing the relationship between the thermal expansion coefficient and thermal damage of rocks with different mineral compositions, and proposing a thermal damage prediction model for rocks with different mineral compositions under high temperature conditions.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the PFC-based numerical study method for predicting thermal damage in rocks of different compositions as described in this invention, the analysis of the relationship between the thermal expansion coefficient and thermal damage in rocks of different mineral compositions includes the following steps: Due to the linear relationship between the thermal expansion coefficient and quartz content, the relationship between the thermal expansion coefficient and quartz content of rocks under different temperature conditions is fitted as follows:
[0014] α=k (T) P Q +b (T)
[0015] Where α is the linear thermal expansion coefficient, P Q The content of quartz is T, and the heat loading temperature is T.
[0016] The coefficients k and b, calculated for different quartz contents, are fitted to the temperature variations as follows:
[0017] k (T) = (5.64 × 10 -5 T+0.0125
[0018] b (T) =0.0027T+0.295
[0019] Where k(T) and b(T) are functions of the slope k and intercept b as a function of temperature, respectively.
[0020] As a preferred embodiment of the PFC-based numerical study method for predicting thermal damage in rocks with different compositions as described in this invention, the analysis of the relationship between the thermal expansion coefficient and thermal damage of rocks with different mineral compositions further includes: substituting the fitted k(T) and b(T) into the formula α relating the thermal expansion coefficient of rocks to quartz content under different temperature conditions, to obtain the following empirical formula:
[0021] α=(5.64×10 -5 T)P Q +0.0027T+0.295
[0022] As volumetric thermal strain increases, thermal damage gradually increases.
[0023] As a preferred embodiment of the PFC-based numerical study-based method for predicting thermal damage in rocks of different compositions according to the present invention, the relationship between thermal damage and volumetric thermal strain is as follows:
[0024]
[0025] Where, ε v Let a be the volumetric thermal strain, and a, b, and c be the model parameters related to peak damage, curvature, and curve shape, respectively. Under uniaxial conditions, the volumetric thermal strain is:
[0026] ε v =ΔTα
[0027] Where ΔT is the temperature change;
[0028] Substituting the fitted parameter values into the function yields:
[0029]
[0030] The coefficient of thermal expansion α is a function of the mineral quartz content and temperature T.
[0031] Secondly, to further address the problems of rock damage caused by thermal expansion and cracking, and the resulting damage to construction safety, this invention provides a PFC-based numerical research system for predicting thermal damage in rocks of different compositions.

Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0046] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.
[0047] Example 1
[0048] Reference Figures 1-3This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a method for predicting thermal damage of rocks with different compositions based on PFC numerical research. Due to limitations in experimental conditions, PFC discrete element analysis is widely used in rock mechanics research. This invention utilizes PFC2D software to construct a grain-based model; describes the model development method and calibrates the model's microscopic parameters; simulates the microcrack propagation and mechanical response of rocks with different mineral compositions under high-temperature conditions; analyzes the relationship between thermal expansion and thermal damage of rocks with different mineral compositions; and establishes a thermal damage prediction model for rocks with different mineral compositions. Specifically, it includes the following steps:
[0049] S1: Establish a particle-based numerical model using PFC2D, in which two contact models are used.
[0050] Preferably, the microstructure of LdB granite is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the grain structure of granite is mostly polygonal. Two contact models are used in the numerical model ( Figure 2 The internal grain structure uses a linear parallel bond model to generate deformable and brittle grains; a smooth-joint model is used to characterize contact along grain boundaries, which is assigned to the model by the initially established grain boundary structure; based on the physical and mechanical properties of LdB granite, the microscopic parameters of the rock model are calibrated by comparing the results of Brazilian splitting, uniaxial, and triaxial compression experiments with simulation results. Figure 5 and Figure 4 As shown, rock samples with different mineral compositions were generated, such as... Figure 3 As shown.
[0051] Furthermore, the microstructure parameters of the rock include the basic physical properties of all grain units (disk size 0.4mm-0.6mm, crystal size 12mm-13mm), parallel bonding parameters, and smooth bonding parameters.
[0052] S2: By uniformly heating the rock boundary with a temperature, and conducting mechanical experiments on the rock under high temperature conditions (25℃-600℃), axial loading is directly applied to obtain stress-strain curves and microcrack propagation.
[0053] Preferably, the temperature is first applied to the rock boundary, with an initial temperature of 25°C, and then increased by 1°C every 100 steps to achieve uniform heating.
[0054] S3: Thermal damage is calculated by elastic modulus damage, the relationship between thermal expansion coefficient and thermal damage of rocks with different mineral compositions is analyzed, and a thermal damage prediction model for rocks with different mineral compositions under high temperature conditions is proposed.
[0055] Preferably, a thermal damage prediction model for rocks with different mineral compositions is established by analyzing the relationship between thermal expansion and thermal damage.
[0056] By analyzing the simulation results, the propagation of microcracks and mechanical damage behavior of rocks with different mineral compositions were revealed. Thermal damage was calculated by the change of elastic modulus, and it was clarified that volumetric thermal strain is the main factor determining thermal damage of rocks.
[0057] Specifically, due to the linear relationship between the coefficient of thermal expansion and quartz content, the relationship between the coefficient of thermal expansion and quartz content of rocks under different temperature conditions is fitted. Then, the relationship between relevant parameters and temperature is fitted to establish a thermal damage prediction model considering the mineral composition of rocks under high temperature conditions. The established model is reasonable and reliable, and the prediction of thermal damage is relatively simple. It has a certain novelty and is easy to apply in practice, providing a new method and idea for the prediction of thermal damage of rocks with different mineral compositions.
[0058] Furthermore, thermal damage is calculated using uniaxial conditional thermal damage, as shown in the following formula:
[0059] D T =1-(E T / E0)
[0060] Where E0 is the elastic modulus; E T This represents the elastic modulus after heat loading.
[0061] Because of the linear relationship between the coefficient of thermal expansion and quartz content, the relationship between the coefficient of thermal expansion and quartz content of rocks under different temperature conditions is fitted, such as... Figure 6 As shown:
[0062] α=k (T) P Q +b (T)
[0063] Where α is the linear thermal expansion coefficient, P Q The quartz content is T, and the heat loading temperature is T.
[0064] The coefficients k and b calculated for different quartz contents are as follows: Figure 7 As shown; the changes of coefficients k and b with temperature can be fitted as follows:
[0065] k (T) = (5.64 × 10 -5 T+0.0125
[0066] b (T) =0.0027T+0.295
[0067] Where k(T) and b(T) are functions of the slope k and intercept b as a function of temperature, respectively.
[0068] Furthermore, the analysis of the relationship between the thermal expansion coefficient and thermal damage of rocks with different mineral compositions also includes: substituting the fitted k(T) and b(T) into the formula α relating the thermal expansion coefficient of rocks to quartz content under different temperature conditions, resulting in the following empirical formula:
[0069] α=(5.64×10 -5 T)P Q +0.0027T+0.295
[0070] With increasing volumetric thermal strain, more thermal damage occurs; furthermore, under uniaxial conditions, the relationship curves between thermal damage and volumetric thermal strain overlap for samples with different quartz contents, indicating that these curves may follow the same function or rule, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the formula relating thermal damage and volumetric thermal strain is as follows:
[0071]
[0072] Where, ε v Let a be the volumetric thermal strain, and a, b, and c be the model parameters related to peak damage, curvature, and curve shape, respectively. Under uniaxial conditions, the volumetric thermal strain is:
[0073] ε v =ΔTα
[0074] Where ΔT is the temperature change; substituting the fitted parameter values into the function yields:
[0075]
[0076] The coefficient of thermal expansion α is a function of the mineral quartz content and temperature T; therefore, we can use this empirical formula to predict the thermal damage of rocks with different quartz contents.

[0078] This embodiment also provides a computer device applicable to the prediction of thermal damage of rocks with different compositions based on PFC numerical studies, including: a memory and a processor; the memory is used to store computer-executable instructions, and the processor is used to execute the computer-executable instructions to realize the prediction of thermal damage of rocks with different compositions based on PFC numerical studies as proposed in the above embodiment.

[0081] In summary, this invention establishes a multi-mineral rock particle model based on the PFC discrete element method; the proposed simple formula is quite practical, that is, without the need for mechanical experiments, only the mineral composition of the rock and the temperature to be applied are needed to easily predict the thermal damage of the rock in a high-temperature environment; from an engineering perspective, our empirical formula provides guidance for the site selection, design and construction of deep geological energy resources.

[0084] Figure 4 The stress-strain curves and microcrack propagation process are shown. Under uniaxial conditions, the microcracks are mainly grain boundary tensile cracks, and the direction of the macroscopic cracks is approximately parallel to the axial (perpendicular) loading direction, which is consistent with the experimental results.

[0088] Experiments have shown that highly thermally expanding quartz minerals are one of the main components of granite and play an important role in controlling the thermal expansion of rocks; generally, thermal expansion increases with increasing quartz content. Figure 6 As shown, the simulation results demonstrate a good linear relationship between the coefficient of thermal expansion and the quartz content. To establish the relationship between the coefficient of thermal expansion and temperature, the relationship between the slope k and the intercept b and the temperature was linearly fitted.
