Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tunnel construction simulation, and in particular to a shield machine numerical simulation method and device for air-mud-water dual flow field coupling. Background Art
[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, the surface space is becoming increasingly scarce, and the development of underground space has gradually received attention. Due to its safety and efficiency, shield machines are widely used in underground projects such as tunnel excavation. However, during the tunneling process of the shield machine, due to factors such as high temperature of the equipment, closed environment and groundwater infiltration, a high temperature and high humidity working environment is formed. This harsh environment not only threatens the health of the operators, but also accelerates the aging of the equipment and increases the risk of shield machine failure. Therefore, accurately grasping the temperature field and velocity field inside the shield machine is of great significance to improving the working environment and ensuring the stable operation of the equipment.
[0003] At present, there are two main methods for analyzing the temperature field of shield machines: First, the ventilation system of the shield machine is designed by comparing the ventilation volume of the shield machine, the number of people working in the shield machine, and the return air speed, and based on the empirical formula, the environmental heat dissipation and the heat generation of each heat source are gradually calculated to determine the thermal balance condition, and the overall temperature distribution is estimated by the finite element algorithm. However, the temperature field data obtained by the finite element method is usually limited by the measured data, and the generalization is poor. It is impossible to calculate the heat generation and dissipation caused by the operation of the equipment and the change of working conditions under different geological conditions. Therefore, static thermal balance calculation alone will produce non-negligible errors. Second, through the data-driven method, a large amount of field engineering data is collected, and a machine learning model such as a multi-layer perceptron model is established to predict the temperature of the shield machine. However, the data-driven method requires a large amount of field data for training, which usually means high sensor deployment and testing costs, and the accuracy of its prediction results is also limited by the sensor location and test conditions.
[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to invent a numerical simulation method that combines the complex heat transfer process of the shield machine and can accurately calculate its temperature field, so as to provide a new technical means for the multi-dimensional coordinated dynamic control of the thermal environment of the shield tunnel.

[0092] The tunnel consists of three areas. The initial area is the jet flow area, which is characterized by high-speed airflow spraying from the ventilation port to the working face. Due to the entrainment effect of the high-speed jet, the surrounding air is continuously sucked into the jet within a specific range, causing the jet area to continue to increase. Subsequently, the airflow impacts the working face. Due to the limitations of the shield pressure wall and the segment assembly machine, a counterflow zone is formed on the other side of the ventilation duct, and the flow rate in the counterflow zone is much lower than that in the jet flow zone. In the process of flowing to the exit, the combined action of the reverse flow and the jet flow causes an air vortex to form between the equipment, forming a vortex zone.

Figure 3 This is the temperature cloud diagram when the shield machine is shut down. Figure 4 The 3D velocity field trace cloud diagram. The numerical simulation method of the mud-water and air dual flow field coupling proposed in this invention takes the monitored temperature of the equipment and environment in the tunnel as the dynamic boundary condition based on the heat transfer mechanism between the mud-water and air fields. Through numerical simulation, the overall heat transfer process of the shield machine, the heat distribution in the tunnel and the air flow state are supplemented.
