Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an effective range evaluation method for in-situ testing of engineering rock mass permeability, and belongs to the technical field of effective range evaluation for in-situ testing of engineering rock mass permeability. Background Art

[0002] In various deep geological engineering projects, accurate permeability measurement is crucial for evaluating the effectiveness of surrounding rock grouting reinforcement, deep rock fracturing, and the sealing properties of deep chamber barrier systems. In recent years, to address the limited representativeness of core-scale permeability test results, the difficulty in maintaining the original stress, temperature, and humidity states of the samples, and the inability to directly guide engineering practice, numerous researchers have devoted themselves to the study of engineering-scale permeability testing and developed a variety of permeability testing methods. Clarifying the effective range of in-situ testing of engineering rock permeability plays a crucial role in experimental design and the application of test results in practical engineering projects. Some researchers have studied the effective range of engineering-scale in-situ gas permeability testing. By establishing a pressure distribution function and a set of pressure boundary equations and solving them using the finite difference method, they can determine the gas pressure distribution in the rock mass. The outer boundary of the test is then determined, where the dimensionless pressure is 0.1. The effective test radius is then numerically equal to the test section length + 1 / 2 the expansion plug length.

[0003] However, relatively little research has been conducted on the effective test range of engineering-scale in-situ gas permeability testing, and many researchers have overlooked its impact on test results during their derivation. Existing studies often assume an artificially pre-defined outer pressure boundary and treat it as a known condition. The resulting effective test range is identical for rock masses of varying permeability, which is clearly unreasonable. Summary of the Invention

[0040] See also Figure 1 The present invention proposes a method for evaluating the effective range of in-situ testing of engineering rock permeability. By utilizing the pressure distribution function, internal boundary conditions, and external boundary conditions obtained in the derivation process of the engineering-scale in-situ gas permeability test method, a new pressure boundary condition of an observation hole is added to derive the formula. This can provide a more accurate effective test range of the engineering-scale in-situ gas permeability test, which can better guide engineering practice.

[0041] The testing principle of the present invention:

[0042] Unlike the traditional in-situ gas permeability steady-state test method, it does not continuously inject gas into the test hole at the same flow rate, and a new observation hole is added on the basis of the original test design. The test method provided by the present invention is to extend the steady-state method based on the inlet pressure gradient at the core scale to the engineering scale. At the beginning of the test, gas with a pressure of P1 is injected into the test hole and the observation hole. The pressure changes in the test hole and the observation hole are then recorded, and the permeability is calculated based on the pressure gradient of the test hole. The derivation of the engineering-scale in-situ gas permeability test principle is carried out under the following five assumptions: ① The gas seepage in the rock mass is laminar, that is, it conforms to Darcy's law; ② The gas satisfies the ideal gas state equation; ③ The temperature condition of the test is constant temperature; ④ The rock mass satisfies uniform isotropy; ⑤ The gas seepage in the rock mass is radial flow.

[0043] The gas mass conservation equation in porous media is determined as:

[0044]

[0045] Where ρ is density and v is volume;

[0046] According to the assumption ②, the ideal gas state equation is determined as follows:

[0047] PV=nRT(2), where

[0048] P is the gas pressure, V is the volume of the space where the gas is located, n is the amount of substance, R is the molar gas constant, and T is the temperature;

[0049] Based on the relationship between the amount of substance, mass and molar mass, and the relationship between mass, volume and density, we have:

[0050] m=nM (3),

[0051] m=ρV (4),

[0052] In the formula, m is the mass of the gas, and V is the volume of the space where the gas is located;

[0053] Combining formula (2), formula (3), and formula (4), we can calculate the gas density:

[0054]

[0055] Based on assumption ①, the gas seepage velocity is calculated as follows:

[0056]

[0057] Where k is the effective permeability, μ is the gas dynamic viscosity coefficient, is the Hamiltonian operator; P is the gas pressure;

[0058] According to assumption ⑤, the experimental model can be further simplified into a one-dimensional radial model in the cylindrical coordinate system. According to assumptions ③ and ④, the gas permeability k, gas dynamic viscosity coefficient μ, and temperature T are all constants.

[0059] Substitute formula (5) and formula (6) into formula (1) and simplify formula (1) to:

[0060] ΔP 2 =0(7),

[0061] Where Δ is the Laplace operator;

[0062] The one-dimensional radial expression of formula (7) in cylindrical coordinate system is:

[0063]

[0064] From formula (8), we can get P 2 The pressure distribution function is obtained by analysis:

[0065] P 2 =C1lnr+C2 (9),

[0066] Since this test method is different from the traditional in-situ gas permeability steady-state test method, it does not continuously inject gas into the test hole at the same flow rate. At the beginning of the test, gas with a pressure of P1 is injected into the test hole and the observation hole. After Δt time, the gas pressure in the test section drops by ΔP, and the average gas pressure in the test section P is obtained. mean for:

[0067]

[0068] Therefore, the pressure boundary condition in the test hole is not the P1 mentioned in the traditional in-situ gas permeability steady-state test method, but the average gas pressure P obtained by the steady-state method based on the inlet pressure gradient at the core scale. mean ;

[0069] Assume that the hole wall of the test section is r in The gas pressure at P mean ; Distance from the axis of the test section r out The pressure at the point is P0; hence the boundary condition P│r in =P mean , P│r out =P0 and substituting into formula (9) we get:

[0070]

[0071] Substituting formula (11) and formula (12) into formula (9), we get:

[0072]

[0073] At this time, P 2 is expressed as a function of r, and r out is an unknown quantity; if we can obtain the average pressure of the observation hole at a distance r' from the center of the borehole within the time Δt, it is P' mean That is, we get another boundary condition P│ r’ =P′ mean , the boundary condition P│ r’ =P′ mean Substitute into formula (13) to obtain the effective test radius r out ;

[0074] r out =(r in ) 1-A′ (r′) A′ (14)

[0075]

[0076] Where, P mean is the average pressure of the test hole during Δt time (Pa); P′ meanis the average pressure of the observation hole during the corresponding Δt time (Pa); P0 is the atmospheric pressure, the specific value is 1×10 5 (Pa); r out is the effective test radius (m); r in is the drilling radius (m);

[0077] The testing steps of the present invention include:

[0078] ① Drill test holes and observation holes in the rock mass to be tested, and complete the cleaning operations of the test holes and observation holes;

[0079] ②Install the gas injection pipe and expansion plug into the predetermined position in the test hole, use the inflation device to inject the required pressure of gas into the expansion plug to complete the sealing operation of the test hole, and install the pressure gauge in the observation hole;

[0080] ③Inject gas with a pressure of P1 into the test hole and the observation hole through the gas injection pipe at one time. During the test, record the pressure value of the test hole during the pressure drop process and the pressure value of the observation hole during the pressure change process;

[0081] ④ Process the pressure drop curve of the test hole and the pressure change in the observation hole recorded in ③ to obtain the average pressure (Pa) of the test hole within the Δt time and the average pressure of the observation hole within the corresponding time. Substitute the average pressure (Pa) of the test hole and the average pressure of the observation hole within the corresponding time into formula (14) and formula (15) to obtain the effective test range of this test.
