Digging Efficiency

A high-pressure water jet can break rock efficiently, which is of great potential to overcome the problems of a tunnel boring machine (TBM) in full-face hard rock tunnel digging, such as low digging efficiency and high disc cutter wear rate. Therefore, this paper presented a new tunneling method that is a TBM coupled with a high-pressure water jet. The rock failure mechanism under the coupled forces of a disc cutter and water jet was analyzed at first. Then, the finite element method (FEM) and smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method were used to establish a numerical model of rock broken by the disc cutter and water jet. Effects of parameters on rock breaking performance were studied based on the numerical model. Moreover, an experiment of the water jet cutting marble was carried out to verify the reliability of the numerical simulation. Results showed that the high-pressure water jet can increase the TBM digging efficiency and decrease the forces and wear rate of the disc cutter. The optimum nozzle diameter is 1.5 mm, while the optimum jet velocity is 224.5 m/s in this simulation. The results can provide theoretical guidance and data support for designing the most efficient system of a TBM with a water jet for digging a full-face hard rock tunnel.

The experiment focused on the contrast with rock breaking effect of impacting water jet by modulation of chaos and common cavitation jet. Investigated the influences of various water jet parameters and conditions on rock breaking, such as standoff distance, pump pressure, transverse speed and erosion time and the mass loss and erosion depth were measured in the experiment. The results show that the impacting water jet by modulation of chaos can efficiently use the energy of water jet and increase ability in rock-breaking, which will have a wide application prospect in high pressure water jet technology field.

In the process of hard rock breaking, the conical pick bears great cutting force and wear, and the cutting efficiency is lower. Thus different combination ways of water jet and conical pick were proposed to solve this issue; for instance, water jet placed in the front of pick (JFP) and water jet through the center of pick (JCP) was researched by numerical simulation and experiments in this paper. First, the models of rock breaking were built based on SPH combined with finite element method. Then, the stress distribution of rock and the cut force of pick were analyzed when the rock broken by the conical pick assisted with the high pressure water jet. It indicates that the effect of the JCP on rock breaking is better than the JFP. At last, experiments about rock breaking with a conical pick and the JCP were conducted to verify the reliability of the simulation. It indicates that the rock breaking with the assistance of high pressure water jet cannot only reduce the pick force, but also increase the rock crushing volume.

High Pressure Water Jet

The concept of tunnel boring machine (TBM) disc cutter rock breaking coupled with high-pressure water jets has been proposed to overcome the difficulties that occur when TBMs encounter extremely hard rocks. Thus, to meet actual engineering requirements for the TBM construction of tunnels as part of the Wan’anxi water diversion project in Longyan City (Fujian Province, China), experiments were conducted on high-pressure water jet-assisted TBM disc cutter rock breaking. By varying kerf depth and width under different water jet parameters and performing disc cutter rock breaking tests on rock surfaces with no kerf, single kerf, and double kerfs, the effects of different kerf depths on the disc cutter rock breaking process, load, and efficiency were examined. The test results showed that high-pressure water jets can generate the regular kerfs required for the coupled disc cutter rock breaking of granite. Employing the coupled rock breaking method also resulted in a decrease in specific energy and an approximately 40% decrease in the normal force of the disc cutter, thereby significantly improving rock breaking efficiency. These results provide key technical parameters for the design and manufacture of high-pressure water jet-assisted rock-breaking TBMs and serves as a reference for similar processes.

High Pressure Water Jet

How to effectively transfer and exert a pressure on drills in lateral drilling, and to raise the efficiency of rock-breaking and rate of penetration in a bid, is the key technology to improve the quality, speed and economic benefits of lateral drilling. Therefore, based on high pressure jet of 16-hole and 7-hole nozzles, which are suitable for lateral drilling in oilfield at the present stage, we carry out a research on the hydraulic calculation of high pressure water jet flow and the mechanism of rock-breaking. We use three-dimensional modeling software to establish models, and analyze the high pressure water jet velocity field combined with numerical simulation software. According to different injection, we calculate the local head of the two nozzles when the working fluid is pure water and the liquid-solid two phases of 4% solid content respectively, through the simulated relational expression between the local head and the injection rate to calculate the maximum speed of each hole and to ensure rock-breaking critical injection of 16-hole and 7-hole nozzles, then compare and analyze the rock-breaking effect of these two kinds of drill bits, at the same time to analyze the influence of nozzles angle on the effect of rock-breaking, so as to optimize the perfect angle of the nozzle and to provide theoretical basis for the popularization and application of lateral drilling high pressure jet rock-breaking.
