Abstract

The initiation process of the mine water inrush accident, the essence of this process is the sudden change of the seepage state of the broken coal medium under pressure and the instability of the skeleton. In order to study the re-crushing mechanism and seepage characteristics of the broken coal medium under load, a set of three-axis seepage system was designed independently. Using the steady-state infiltration method, multiple flow factors under different particle size combinations and different stress conditions of the broken coal medium were obtained. The results of the study indicate: in one hand, the reduction of the porosity of the broken coal medium will cause the flow channel to be rebuilt, and the sudden change of flow rate will directly lead to the non-Darcian flow behavior. The early stage of compaction mainly affects the permeability k value, and the later stage of compaction mainly affects the non-Darcian β value; On the other hand, the seepage throat in the broken coal medium may have a sharp increase in its flow rate, leading to a sudden change in the flow pattern. The critical Reynolds number is also used to determine whether non-Darcian flow is formed, and its value in the water inrush system is about 40–133; at the same time, the non-Darcian flow in the broken coal medium conforms to the Forchheimer-type flow law. By analyzing the dependence relationship between factors, a seepage factor representation algebraic relationship suitable for Forchheimer type non-Darcian flow of broken coal medium is given, which can be used as a calculation basis in the prevention and treatment of mine water inrush accidents.

Highlights

  • The initiation process of the mine water inrush accident, the essence of this process is the sudden change of the seepage state of the broken coal medium under pressure and the instability of the skeleton

  • In the formula, v is the flow rate; kD is the permeability corresponding to the Darcy flow; μ is the dynamic viscosity of the fluid; p is the water pressure; x is the height

  • The results show that under high stress conditions, in the compacted broken coal sample, the grains will break further, causing the internal pore channels of the sample to close, the flow rate will change suddenly, and nonDarcian behavior will occur

Introduction

The initiation process of the mine water inrush accident, the essence of this process is the sudden change of the seepage state of the broken coal medium under pressure and the instability of the skeleton. The results of the study indicate: in one hand, the reduction of the porosity of the broken coal medium will cause the flow channel to be rebuilt, and the sudden change of flow rate will directly lead to the non-Darcian flow behavior. The critical Reynolds number is used to determine whether non-Darcian flow is formed, and its value in the water inrush system is about 40–133; at the same time, the non-Darcian flow in the broken coal medium conforms to the Forchheimer-type flow law. The flow state of non-Darcian behavior was measured, and the hydraulic characteristics of non-Darcian flow were given; and the critical Reynolds number of non-Darcian flow was analyzed; and the factor change law was obtained in non-Darcian seepage process. These research conclusions can provide a certain theoretical guiding significance for mine water hazard management
