DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] Regarding the present application, the tailings pond dam break whole process is a process of continuous deformation, internal rupture damage and discrete discharge of the dam, different mechanical analysis methods are suitable for the above three different deformation modes, and it is difficult for the current technology to realize the whole process simulation of the tailings pond dam break from deformation, damage and breakage by using one calculation method.

[0021] The existing technology has the following deficiencies: Single model limitation: the traditional method (such as finite element method and discrete element method) is difficult to accurately simulate the processes of landslide rupture (large deformation), seepage stress coupling and mud and sand flow migration at the same time.

[0022] Conflict between calculation efficiency and accuracy: the continuous medium method (such as FVM) cannot handle multiphase flow and complex phase interface; the discrete element method (DEM) has large calculation amount and is difficult to be applied to kilometer-level large-scale disaster simulation.

[0023] Immature coupling mechanism: the existing water-soil-debris coupling algorithm lacks efficient contact model (such as dynamic fracture slip criterion between blocks and particles), resulting in large deviation of dam break path prediction.

[0024] Poor terrain adaptability: the traditional model is difficult to accurately capture the reflection, climbing and diffraction effects of particle flow under steep terrain.

[0025] Based on this, the present application aims to perform whole-process high-precision calculation simulation on the whole process of tailings pond dam break. The present application relates to the field of tailings pond safety monitoring and disaster simulation, and specifically relates to a tailings pond dam break whole process analysis model under dynamic action based on multi-scale coupled numerical simulation.

[0026] The tailings dam breach whole process simulation scheme of the application breaks through the limitations of traditional methods through a whole process multi-stage coupling mechanism and a dynamic contact algorithm, and for the first time realizes high-precision and high-efficiency simulation of the whole process of tailings dam breach, thereby providing quantitative prevention and control basis for high-risk scenarios.

[0027] The tailings dam breach whole process simulation scheme of the application comprises generating a three-dimensional geological grid model according to point cloud data of a target region, and assigning grid attributes according to geological parameters; based on the three-dimensional geological grid model and the geological parameters, an initial geostress field is solved by a virtual mass method and by setting a stress imbalance rate condition; in a landslide simulation stage, based on the initial geostress field and a landslide impact force, a mountain rupture process is simulated by a coupling method of a discrete element method and a material point method to obtain a damaged region boundary and a pore water pressure distribution; when a dam body displacement mutation or a stress threshold value is exceeded in a disaster response, a dam breach simulation stage of a deformed and damaged region is started; in the dam breach simulation stage, based on the damaged region boundary and topographic data, a deep integration finite volume method is used to simulate a mud flow movement path based on a Savage-Hutter model; a disaster path graph, an accumulation thickness cloud graph and an influence range thermal cloud graph are generated based on the mud flow movement path.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the core difference is that a whole process coupling model of a geological disaster dam breach is constructed, and the following key innovations of a hybrid numerical architecture are included: 1) In a landslide stage, a block discrete element (DEM) + material point method (MPM) coupling is used to simulate mountain rupture and into-reservoir impact.

[0029] 2) In a dam breach stage, a deep integration finite volume method (FVM) + Savage-Hutter model is used to realize large-scale and efficient simulation of mud flow.

[0030] Among them, a dynamic contact algorithm is used, a block particle contact coupling model is proposed, and a tensile / shear fracture criterion is introduced, so that the interaction force of water and soil debris can be accurately transmitted.

[0031] Among them, the shock wave capture and topographic effect in the particle flow movement of steep terrain are solved by integrating along the coordinate system.

[0032] Therefore, the following is realized: the bottleneck of multi-physical field (stress seepage flow) cross-scale coupling is broken through, and the whole chain simulation from landslide triggering to downstream disaster is realized; the calculation efficiency is improved by 30 times (km-level model), and the precision is improved by 50%.

[0033] In order to simulate the whole process of the overall stability, deformation and damage process and dam breach disaster process of the tailings dam, the application proposes a numerical calculation method in which the finite element method, the discrete element method and the deep integration finite volume method are fused.

[0034] The finite element method is used to analyze the overall stability of the tailing dam and the macroscopic continuous medium deformation process, the discrete element method is used to analyze the damage and failure process of the tailing dam, and the depth integral finite volume method is used to simulate the movement and disaster process after the dam body collapses.

[0035] Therefore, the application can more truly reflect the physical and mechanical process of the development and evolution of the tailing dam by comprehensively considering various mechanical models and factors, can effectively simulate the initial ground stress state and dam break disaster process of the tailing reservoir, and can provide reliable basis for tailing reservoir stability analysis and disaster range division.

[0036] Precision improvement: seepage line simulation error < 5%, and mud and sand flow accumulation thickness prediction error < 10%.

[0037] Efficiency breakthrough: the calculation time of a kilometer-level model is shortened from weeks to hours (efficiency is improved by 30 times).

[0038] Engineering value: accurately output disaster path, accumulation thickness and influence range to guide downstream plant disaster prevention layout.

[0039] Verification reliability: small-scale model and experimental data are consistent to more than 90%.

[0040] In order to make the technical solutions and advantages in the embodiments of the application clearer and more apparent, the exemplary embodiments of the application are further described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the application, not all the embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments in the application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0041] Embodiment 1 Figure 1 As shown in the figure, a tailing reservoir dam break whole process simulation method is provided, including the following steps:

[0042] As Figure 1 shown, a tailing reservoir dam break whole process simulation method is provided, including the following steps: S1: generating grid-shaped ground surface data according to ground surface point cloud data of a target area, constructing a three-dimensional geological grid model in cooperation with borehole data, applying geological mechanics parameters to each geological grid, and the geological mechanics parameters include density, elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, cohesion, internal friction angle, tensile strength and dilatancy angle; S2: based on the three-dimensional geological grid model and the geological parameters, solving the initial ground stress field by the virtual mass method and setting the stress imbalance rate condition; S3: Landslide simulation stage, based on the initial stress field and landslide impact force, the process of mountain rupture is simulated by the coupling method of discrete element method and material point method to obtain the boundary of the damaged area and the distribution of pore water pressure; when the dam displacement mutation or stress threshold value in disaster response, start the dam failure simulation stage of the deformation and damage area; S4: Dam failure simulation stage, based on the boundary of the damaged area and the terrain data, the depth integral finite volume method is used to simulate the motion path of the mud flow based on the Savage-Hutter model; S5: Based on the motion path of the mud flow, the disaster path map, the accumulation thickness cloud map and the influence range thermal cloud map are generated.

[0043] In S2, the initial stress field is solved based on the three-dimensional geological grid model and the geomechanical parameters by the virtual mass method and the stress imbalance rate condition, and the specific calculation steps include: 1) Starting from the known initial state, after each time step (such as the nth step) is completed, all nodes in the calculation area are fixed; 2) Calculate the spring force of each node , and sum and external force to get the node combined external force ; ………Equation (1); 3) Then calculate the imbalance force of each node ; ………Equation (2); 4) Then, according to the imbalance force of each node on the block, calculate the acceleration of these nodes ; ………Equation (3); 5) According to the acceleration and time step , all nodes are relaxed ; ………Equation (4); 6) Fix all nodes at the new position, and loop the next iteration until the exit condition is met.

[0044] In S3, the landslide impact force is the result of the dynamic interaction between the kinetic energy of the landslide and the resistance of the tailings dam structure. The impact force is a time-varying load, and the impact process lasts for 10-20s, and the peak value appears at the moment when the landslide completely contacts the dam. The impact force is non-uniformly distributed in space, which is related to the shape of the landslide, the speed distribution, and the geometry of the dam.

[0045] Landslide impact force directly affects the distribution of pore water pressure and the stability of the dam; the impact force of landslide will produce an instantaneous effect of compression of the dam, resulting in a sudden rise in pore water pressure; and trigger local liquefaction.

[0046] The impact force of landslide also has a sustained effect, which destroys the seepage path and forms new dominant water channels; it also accelerates the invasion of reservoir water, leading to a sustained rise in pore water pressure.

[0047] In the seepage-stress iteration cycle, the impact force is added as an additional load term to the stress balance equation.

[0048] In S3, the calculation process of discrete elements is as follows: First, the contact force F i and the contact torque M i of each particle of the discrete element are calculated. ………Equation (5); ………Equation (6); where F and M represent the external force and external torque applied to the particle, F is the contact force between particle i and particle j, n is the global damping force and damping torque. F is the contact damping force, n

[0049] is the number of particles in contact with particle i. Then, the translational acceleration a and the rotational acceleration a of the particle are calculated, with the formulas being: ………Equation (7); ………Equation (8); The velocity v and displacement s of the particle are calculated using the Euler forward method or the central difference method, taking the Euler forward method as an example, the calculation formulas are: ………Equation (9); ………Equation (10); The calculation formulas for the incremental displacement s and the incremental rotation angle of the nth step are: ………Equation (11); Equation (12) Displacement of the nth step particle i New coordinates of the centroid and rotation angle The calculation formula is: Equation (13) Equation (14) Equation (15).

[0050] In S3, the calculation process of the material point is as follows: First, the mass and momentum information of the particle are converted into the variables of the background grid nodes by using the established shape function: Equation (16) Equation (17) wherein and respectively represent the momentum and velocity, and the mass. Herein and represent the time step in the solving process.

[0051] Then, the boundary condition is substituted into the momentum to solve the velocity of the grid node, Equation (18) After obtaining the velocity of the grid node, the strain increment and density of the particle can be obtained accordingly. Finally, the stress increment is calculated by the constitutive relation of the material: Equation (19) Equation (20) The internal force and the node force of the grid node and the resultant force of the grid node are calculated: Equation (21) Equation (22) Equation (23) The momentum equation is integrated on the background grid node: Equation (24) Finally, the variable information of the background grid node is converted into the corresponding particles of the large plate through the shape function, so as to update the velocity and position of these particles: Equation (25) Equation (26).

[0052] The coupling process between discrete elements and material points is as follows: The contact coupling method is used for force transmission between discrete elements and material points. First, determine whether material point particle i and discrete element particle j are in contact, and the calculation formula is: Equation (27); If the inequality holds, the two are in contact. Wherein, is the distance between the material point particle and the discrete element particle, R i is the radius of the material point particle, R j is the radius of the discrete element particle.

[0053] Then calculate the interaction force between the two types of particles. Assuming that only normal contact force can be generated between the two, the calculation formula is: Equation (28); Where, F n is the normal contact force, K is the normal contact stiffness, is the normal embedding amount.

[0054] The contact force F n is calculated and applied to each material point particle on the one hand, and to the discrete element particle on the other hand.

[0055] The S3 landslide simulation stage also includes using the explicit finite volume method combined with the Mohr-Coulomb criterion to calculate and correct the dynamic response of the landslide body impacting the tailings dam and the seepage stress coupling effect.

[0056] The equations of the Savage-Hutter model are shown in Equations (29)-(31), where h is the depth of the landslide body, u and v are the depth-averaged velocities in the x and y directions, is the basal friction angle, is the component of gravity in the three directions of the coordinate system.

[0057] Equation (29); Equation (30); Equation (31); The grid is divided using the finite volume method based on the structured grid. For the cell , the field variable average value is defined as , and the time advancing format is: Equation (32); where and are the cell fluxes on the right and top sides, is the time step, and are the cell edge sizes. The numerical fluxes are computed using the Kurganov scheme …Equation (33). where the MUSCL method is used for interpolation, combined with the Minmod limiter, to construct the left and right vectors on the cell boundaries, so that the spatial accuracy of the numerical scheme reaches the second order in smooth regions, and are the maximum and minimum wave speeds on each boundary of the cell . The fluxes are computed in a similar way as .

[0058] Figure 2 A step diagram of the landslide simulation stage according to the embodiment of the application is shown in FIG. 3.

[0059] As shown in FIG. 4, preferably, in the implementation, the explicit finite volume method is used in combination with the Mohr-Coulomb criterion to calculate and correct the dynamic response of the landslide body impacting the tailings dam and the seepage stress coupling effect, specifically including: Figure 2 S31: alternately performing the fixed displacement field and the fixed seepage field steps until convergence; after fixing the displacement field, solving the Darcy seepage equation to update the pore water pressure; after fixing the seepage field, solving the force balance equation to update the effective stress; S32: when the cell satisfies the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion, updating the porosity and correcting the permeability coefficient. The application takes into account the problem that the traditional method either ignores seepage (leading to distortion of stress calculation) or completely couples (explosive calculation). The embodiment of the application uses iterative separation solution in numerical coupling simulation, which can ensure simulation accuracy and control calculation amount.

[0060] Regarding the iterative coupling mechanism of the application, the stress field and the seepage field are first separately solved, and then the dynamic coupling of the solid pore fluid is realized through data exchange.

[0061]

[0062] ​​The dam collapse inducement considered in the present application is that the rainstorm infiltration causes the rise of pore water pressure, and then causes the reduction of effective stress of tailings sand, and finally triggers the instability of dam body. Therefore, the key problem to be solved by the iterative coupling mechanism of the present application is to simulate the interaction of pore water pressure and deformation of rock-soil body, i.e. the change of water pressure affects the strength of rock-soil (weakening structure), and the deformation of rock-soil changes the seepage path (counteraction).

[0063] Compared with the defects in the traditional method, such as ignoring seepage or simplifying as static water, being unable to reflect the hydraulic weakening effect, and calculation divergence (strong coupling problem), the coupling model has the advantages of dynamic coupling of pore water pressure-stress field, accurate capture of strength attenuation caused by seepage, and iterative separation solution to ensure stability.

[0064] Figure 3 Fig. 6 shows the linkage relationship diagram of the coupling model in each stage of the whole process according to the embodiment of the present application.

[0065] As shown in Figure 3 , the landslide stage outputs the fracture surface in the simulation process of mountain rupture, inputs the fracture surface into the seepage-stress coupling model to transfer the pore water pressure, and then judges the instability of dam body. After the instability is judged, the data simulation of the dam collapse stage is triggered to enter the movement disaster process.

[0066] In specific implementation, the action mechanism of the seepage-stress coupling model between different stages is as follows: 1. Receiving the fracture surface geometry formed after landslide impact output by the coupling method of block discrete element method (DEM) and material point method (MPM), and then defining a new seepage boundary.

[0067] Thus, the fracture surface becomes an advantageous seepage channel, accelerating the invasion of reservoir water into the dam body.

[0068] 2. In the deformation and failure process, a bidirectional coupling process is used for numerical coupling calculation.

[0069] Figure 4 Fig. 7 shows the principle diagram of the bidirectional coupling process according to the embodiment of the present application.

[0070] As shown in Figure 4 , first, the initial stress field is solved by S2 stress field calculation, rock-soil deformation is simulated based on the initial stress field and landslide impact force, and then the porosity / permeability coefficient is updated, and the seepage field calculation is performed, and the pore water pressure is output, and then it is applied to the stress field to re-calculate the stress field.

[0071] In this process, the stress field calculation causes the update of porosity and permeability coefficient due to rock-soil deformation. The seepage field calculation calculates the new pore water pressure, which is converted into equivalent node force in the stress field. The termination condition of the coupling calculation is that the change rate of pore water pressure between two iterations is <1% (to ensure convergence).

[0072] 3. The determination of the triggering dam-break stage.

[0073] Regarding the instability criterion, when the coupling model output satisfies any of the following conditions, the dam-break simulation is initiated: 1) Sudden displacement of the dam body (>10 mm / step); 2) Pore pressure ratio >0.5; 3) Reach the critical state of Mohr-Coulomb criterion.

[0074] After meeting the conditions, the coupling model output is passed: the boundary of the damaged area + the pore water pressure distribution in the saturated area is input into the motion disaster stage as the initial condition.

[0075] 4. The continuation calculation of the motion disaster stage (mud flow).

[0076] The continuous influence of pore water pressure is as follows: the pore water pressure term is introduced into the mud flow motion equation to control the flow behavior; the terrain feedback is integrated to correct the soil pressure coefficient along the coordinate system, so as to more accurately predict the mud flow climbing / reflection.

[0077] The seepage-stress coupling model of the embodiment of the application is the core technical hub throughout the "landslide → seepage instability → mud disaster" whole chain; it realizes receiving the landslide fracture surface, dynamically updating the seepage boundary; triggering the dam body instability by pore water pressure weakening rock-soil mass; providing initial water pressure and saturation conditions for mud flow, and controlling the technical effect of disaster range; overcoming the bottleneck of "seepage and deformation fragmentation" in traditional methods, and realizing the physical real simulation of the disaster chain.

[0078] First, calculate the pore seepage , the calculation formula is: ………Equation (34); In the formula, represents the coordinate component of the pore unit node i in the direction, k E = κ / μ, k s represents the relative permeability coefficient, and P is the pore water pressure.

[0079] Next, calculate the fracture seepage , the calculation formula is: ………Equation (35); Next, calculate the coupling between pores and fractures, and the flow velocity calculation formula is: ………Equation (36); Wherein, is the average pressure of the pore unit, is the average pressure of the fracture unit, and d is the distance between the pore unit and the fracture unit.

[0080] Next, the coupling of solid stress and pore is calculated by effective stress principle according to the following formula: ………Formula (37); In the formula, σ ij is the effective stress, and a is the coefficient of Biot.

[0081] In the specific implementation, in the dam-break simulation stage, the block-particle contact algorithm is further introduced to introduce the tensile / shear fracture criterion, and the water-soil debris interaction force is transmitted; the along-coordinate integral model is used to correct the soil pressure coefficient under steep terrain, and the particle flow reflection / climbing effect is captured.

[0082] In the preferred implementation, after generating the three-dimensional geological grid model, the pentahedron grid or hexahedron grid is further decomposed into two groups of tetrahedron grids by using a hybrid discrete technology.

[0083] The grid mapping of the geological model is a transformation bridge from the complex geological structure to the numerical calculation model. In the prior art, when the traditional pentahedron / hexahedron grid is used in large deformation calculation, there is a stress asymmetry problem, and stress oscillation (hourglass phenomenon) caused by uneven distribution of integral points generally exists, which affects the calculation accuracy of key processes such as landslide rupture and dam instability.

[0084] In the prior art, the pentahedron / hexahedron grid is decomposed into a tetrahedron grid by using a hybrid discrete technology, and the stress asymmetry is eliminated.

[0085] First, the grid is adapted according to the characteristics of the geological structure as follows: 1. The layered sedimentary rock is adapted to the hexahedron grid type, because the regular layered structure is easy to fit with the hexahedron, and the number of units is reduced; 2. The fault / slip surface is adapted to the pentahedron grid type, because the pyramid-shaped pentahedron perfectly transitions different inclined interfaces; 3. The irregular terrain surface is adapted to the tetrahedron grid type, because the free surface needs a high degree of freedom grid to adapt to the undulating borehole data points. The pentahedron + tetrahedron grid type is adapted, because the borehole is taken as the center to radiate the section, and the pentahedron connects the columnar region.

[0086] In different stages of the application, the simulation target is also different, resulting in different requirements for the adapted grid. In the stress balance simulation stage, the grid needs to be regularly integrated to avoid the hourglass phenomenon, so the hexahedron is used to dominate the layered area + the hybrid discrete technology is used for decomposition; in the rupture damage (landslide stage), the grid needs to capture microcracks with high resolution, and the pentahedron is used to transition in the potential sliding area + the local tetrahedron refinement scheme is used in the rupture area; in the mud flow movement (dam-break stage), the grid needs to capture the dynamic interface, and the adaptive tetrahedron grid scheme is used in the fluid domain.

[0087] Figure 5Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the principle of the hybrid discrete technique according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0088] As shown in Figure 5 Fig. 2, after obtaining the point cloud / CAD terrain data of the unmanned aerial vehicle, a solid model is generated by GID / Midas. Then the rock stratum is divided, the regular area is divided by hexahedral mesh, the fault area is divided by pentahedral mesh, and the surface is divided by tetrahedral mesh.

[0089] In actual application, the homogeneous tailings at the bottom of the reservoir area are hexahedral mesh (size 10m x 10m x 2m); the slope boundary lithology mutation zone is pentahedral mesh (pyramid unit connection); the mud flow path after dam failure is adaptive tetrahedral mesh (size 0.5m~5m dynamic encryption); then the hybrid discrete technique is performed, thereby greatly improving the calculation efficiency.

[0090] Figure 6 Fig. 3 shows a schematic diagram of the hybrid discrete mode of pentahedral and hexahedral according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0091] As shown in Figure 6 Fig. 4, for the pentahedral and hexahedral in the figure, they are all discretized into 2 groups of tetrahedrons. The first group of discrete bodies of the pentahedral is V0123, V03451, V1235, and the second group of discrete bodies is V0124, V3450, V4025; the first group of discrete bodies of the hexahedral is V1240, V3026, V7460, V5462, V4620, and the second group of discrete bodies is V1052, V3027, V4570, V6752, V7025. The total volume of the pentahedral and hexahedral is equal to half of the volume of the two groups of discrete tetrahedrons. When calculating the node force according to the stress of the tetrahedron, the contribution of all the tetrahedrons to the node force should be divided by 2.

[0092] Figure 7 Fig. 5 shows another step schematic diagram of the landslide simulation stage according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0093] As shown in Figure 7 Fig. 6, in some embodiments of the present application, the landslide simulation stage includes: S311: simulate the movement of the landslide body by using the DEM-MPM coupling model, and convert the MPM particle to the DEM particle when the strain rate is greater than or equal to the critical value; S312: calculate the distribution of pore water pressure by using the seepage-stress coupling model, and judge the damage area of the dam body in combination with the Mohr-Coulomb criterion; S313: calculate the contact force based on the block-particle contact algorithm, and determine the material crushing by using the tensile / shear fracture criterion.

[0094] Further implementation, in the S4 dam-break simulation stage, including the following steps: using deep integral finite volume method FVM simulation of the flow of the breach of the movement of mud, combined with the Savage-Hutter model to calculate the thickness of the accumulation; in the slope > 30° region activation block-particle contact algorithm.

[0095] The following through the specific implementation process further illustrates the tailings dam break simulation scheme of the whole process.

[0096] First, the analysis object is geometrically modeled and meshed, the UAV data is read in, the point cloud data is extracted, the surface model is interpolated, and a three-dimensional model is constructed according to the stratum, borehole and potential sliding surface information and the mesh is generated.

[0097] Then, carry out the core solution, which is divided into three stages of initial geostress solution, deformation and failure process solution and motion disaster process solution, all of which are calculated by using explicit algorithm.

[0098] The initial geostress stage adopts the virtual mass method, the main purpose of which is to obtain a stable geostress field.

[0099] The deformation and failure process introduces Mohr-Coulomb to calculate the stability, macroscopic deformation and failure evolution of the tailings dam.

[0100] The motion disaster stage mainly uses the deep integral finite volume method to automatically change the deformation and failure area into a sliding body for rapid simulation of the disaster process.

[0101] The solution of each stage includes node motion solution (acceleration, velocity, displacement increment and displacement solution), element deformation force solution (strain increment and stress increment are calculated from displacement increment, and the current stress is calculated by geometric constitutive model), element contact force solution (contact force increment is calculated from contact displacement increment, and the current contact force is calculated by contact constitutive), node force solution, etc. The mechanical model of the particle system is introduced in the element deformation force and contact force solution steps. The calculation process is described in the step of solving the initial geostress field in S2.

[0102] Finally, the solution end judgment is carried out, such as setting the unbalance rate of the initial geostress to 1e4 and the motion disaster simulation calculation time to 200s; if the end condition is reached, the solution is exited and subsequent analysis is carried out, otherwise the calculation is continued.

[0103] In terms of working principle, it mainly reflects the multi-stage coupling simulation technology.

[0104] Stage one: mountain landslide induced dam instability stage: The dynamic process of a landslide impacting a tailings dam was simulated using the explicit finite volume method. The progressive failure of the dam under pore water pressure was analyzed using a seepage-stress coupling model. The Mohr-Coulomb criterion was used to correct stresses to ensure the accuracy of the mechanical response.

[0105] Phase 2: Dam failure disaster scope prediction phase: The depth-integrated finite volume method is used to simulate the movement path, velocity and accumulation thickness of mud and sand flows based on the Savage-Hutter model; the block-particle coupling algorithm is used to accurately simulate the interaction and migration process of water and soil debris fragments through contact force transmission.

[0106] The workflow is further elaborated as follows: First, the model is constructed and parameters are set.

[0107] Figure 8 Schematic diagram of an aerial view of a tailings pond according to an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG.

[0108] like Figure 8 As shown, geometric modeling was performed based on UAV aerial survey and CAD terrain data.

[0109] Then, a three-dimensional geological model was established using GID / Midas / Gmsh.

[0110] Figure 9 Schematic diagram of the tailings pond analysis range according to an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG.

[0111] like Figure 9 The figure shows the analysis range of the tailings pond. When conducting tailings pond analysis, the tailings pond full-domain interpolation calculation model is used.

[0112] The parameter assignments are as follows: Material mechanical parameters include tailings sand density, elastic modulus, and internal friction angle. Seepage parameters include permeability, saturation, and porosity. Working condition design: Using the Xiagao tailings pond in Guangdong as an example, the landslide volume (60,000 m³) and rainfall weakening conditions were set.

[0113] In specific implementation, regarding the global interpolation calculation model, the principle is as follows: First, the inverse distance weighted method is used for interpolation. In this method, the weighting function of a discrete point i is: .........Formula (38); Where n is the number of discrete points, p is an arbitrary real number (usually 2), and h i is the distance from the discrete point to the interpolation point i, and the calculation formula is: .........Formula (39); Among them, (x, y) is the coordinate of the interpolation point; (x i ,y i ) are the coordinates of discrete points.

[0114] Then the elevation value z at a certain interpolation point can be expressed as: .........Formula (40); Where zi is the elevation of discrete point i.

[0115] During this process, grid parameters are assigned.

[0116] Material mechanical parameters include tailings sand density, elastic modulus, internal friction angle, etc. Seepage parameters include permeability coefficient, saturation, and porosity.

[0117] Disaster condition design: Taking the tailings pond below as an example, the landslide volume (60,000m³) and rainfall weakening conditions are set.

[0118] Figure 10 Detailed description of the landslide stage simulation effect according to an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG.

[0119] like Figure 10 As shown in the figure, the numerical simulation within 100s of the landslide stage includes the simulation effects of landslide collapse and sliding (0-10s), the simulation effect of landslide influx into the tailings pond causing water level rise (10-20s), and the simulation effect of dam instability and overflow (after 20s).

[0120] Figure 11 ] shows a simulation diagram of mud and sand movement according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 12 ] shows a tailings pond migration and accumulation development diagram according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0121] like Figure 11 As shown in Figure 1, it is a velocity cloud diagram of the local whole process of mud and sand debris flow moving at high speed along the valley and the tailings dam overflowing and causing disaster. Figure 12 As shown in the figure, after energy dissipates, it accumulates to form a V-shaped distribution area.

[0122] Finally, the simulation results are analyzed and verified.

[0123] For small-scale verification, see Figure 13 The comparison chart of the seepage model results shows that the flow on the left side of the rectangular dam body is consistent with the theoretical solution.

[0124] First, a rectangular dam is built with a width of L = 9m and a height of H = 12m. 3884 triangular units are used for discretization. The fluid density is 1000kg / m3, the bulk modulus is 1GPa, the porosity is 0.3, the initial saturation is 0.0, the permeability coefficient is 1e-10m2 / Pa / s, and the acceleration of gravity is 10 m / s2. The bottom of the dam is a non-permeable boundary. The water level h1 on the right side of the dam is fixed at 10m. The water level h2 on the left side of the dam is changed to 1m, 3m, 5m, 7m, and 9m. The change in the total flow Q per unit thickness on the left side of the dam is observed. There is a theoretical solution for this flow. The flow on the left side of the dam calculated by the seepage spring element is compared with the theoretical solution. Figure 13 As shown, the infiltration lines at different water levels on the left are as follows Figure 14 shown.

[0125] During the dam instability stage: the three stages of landslide movement (acceleration / constant speed / deceleration) are simulated through block-particle coupling.

[0126] First, a rock-soil mixed slope model was established, consisting of 19 rock blocks (composed of 728 triangular finite element elements) and 23,408 discrete elements. A linear elastic constitutive model was used for the rock blocks, with a density of 2500 kg / m³, an elastic modulus of 10 GPa, and a Poisson's ratio of 0.25. A Mohr-Coulomb brittle model with tensile strength was used for the soil, with a density of 2000 kg / m³, an elastic modulus of 0.1 GPa, a Poisson's ratio of 0.3, a cohesion of 10 kPa, a tensile strength of 10 kPa, and an internal friction angle of 20°. Three monitoring points were set on the rock blocks, labeled P1, P2, and P3. Figure 15 Graphs showing the displacement time history of three monitoring points during simulated landslide movement according to an embodiment of the present application are shown in FIG.

[0127] like Figure 15 As shown in Figure 2, the displacement of P1, P2 and P3 changes with time. Figure 15 The results show that the movement of the rocks went through three stages: acceleration, constant speed, and deceleration. After 8.5 seconds, the three rocks were basically stable.

[0128] Specifically in engineering applications, it can be used to predict the scope of disasters and locate risk areas. The predicted scope of disasters is that the mud and sand flow affects an area of ​​10,000m² and the burial depth is 3m. Figure 16 The circled area in the figure shows the main impact range of the tailings pond on the production area at 200 seconds after it overflows.

[0129] It is used to locate risk areas when downstream facilities such as main powerhouses and thickening tanks are threatened by scour. Figure 17 The display shows the disaster area caused by mud and sand debris 200 seconds after the tailings pond overflowed.
