The study of fluid-heat coupling in deep fractured surrounding rock is the basis of design, safety, and extraction of geothermal energy of deep underground spaces. The heat transfer and fractured media seepage theories were employed to establish a three-dimensional unsteady model for fluid-heat coupling heat transfer in fractured surrounding rock. Using COMSOL multiphysics simulation software, the temperature field of the fractured surrounding rock was determined. Furthermore, the influences of ventilation time, Darcy’s velocity, fracture aperture, and thermal conductivity coefficient of the surrounding rock on the fractured surrounding rock temperature field distribution were investigated. The results of the numerical simulation show that the ventilation time and fracture have a major impact on the temperature field distribution of the fractured surrounding rock. As ventilation time is 200 days, an average water temperature in centerline of the fracture decreases 9.4 K as Darcy’s velocity increased from 3e-4m/s to 2e-3m/s. As ventilation time is 200 days, an average water temperature in centerline of the fracture decreases 5.3 K as fracture aperture increased from 3 mm to 9 mm. A set of experimental devices for fluid-heat coupling heat transfer in surrounding rock with a single fracture was designed and built to validate the numerical simulation results. Numerical simulation results are, in general, in agreement with the experimental results.

High geothermal hazard is a basic problem that must be solved in deep mining; thereby the research on thermal insulation supporting for high temperature control of deep roadway is increasing. However, the quantitative analysis of its thermal insulation effect is yet to be carried out. By building the physical model and control equations of the thermal insulation supporting roadway and considering heat-humidity transfer at wall, the temperature field distribution of surrounding rock and airflow is numerically calculated. Based on numerical simulation results, the evolution law of temperature with ventilation time is analyzed at airflow inlet, outlet, and different sections, then the variation law of surface heat transfer coefficient with position and time is obtained. For heat insulation support structure, the results show that it is not obvious to change the distribution law of temperature field, but it is effective to weaken the convection heat transfer between surrounding rock and airflow. In the main airflow area, the rate of heat exchange gradually decreases with the heat exchange becoming more and more sufficient; in boundary layer, the airflow temperature quickly transits from the wall temperature to that of the main airflow area because of intense collisions of airflow masses, so the mechanism of temperature change is different. The surface heat transfer coefficient well reflected the unstable heat-humidity transfer, especially in the beginning of ventilation or at airflow inlet. Therefore, the heat insulation supporting structure is helpful to the auxiliary cooling of high temperature mine.

To analyze heat effect in deep metal mines, it is crucial to understand the temperature field distribution around the mine tunnel. In this paper, a numerical model of the random mineral composition of the rock body is established based on finite element software to analyze the influence of the internal composition of the surrounding rock on the temperature field, and a numerical simulation model based on COMSOL finite element software is established based on the two heat exchange modes of heat conduction and heat convection in the surrounding rock. The results show that the numerical simulation results of a typical numerical simulation model using a single material are lower than the real situation; increasing the tunnel length does not increase the heat exchange efficiency between the rock wall and the air; increasing the wind velocity has a limited impact on the temperature field; the wind temperature more directly affects the mining surface; and the effect of wet air on the temperature field of the surrounding rock has a more substantial variation.

Abstract To study the active heat insulation roadways of high-temperature mines considering thermal insulation and injection, a high-temperature −965 m return air roadway of Zhujidong Coal Mine (Anhui Province, China) is selected as a prototype. The ANSYS numerical simulation method is used for the sensitivity analysis of heat insulation grouting layers with different thermal conductivities and zone ranges and heat insulation spray layers with different thermal conductivities and thicknesses; thus, their effects on the heat-adjusting zone radius, surrounding rock temperature field, and wall temperature are studied. The results show that the tunneling head temperature of the Zhujidong Mine is >27°C all year round, consequently causing serious heat damage. The heat insulation circle formed by thermal insulation spraying and grouting can effectively alleviate the disturbance of roadway airflow to the surrounding rock temperature field, thereby significantly reducing the heat-adjusting zone radius and wall temperature. The decrease in the thermal conductivities of the grouting and spray layers, expansion of the grouting layer zone, and increase in the spray layer thickness help effectively reduce the heat-adjusting zone radius and wall temperature. This trend decreases significantly with the ventilation time. A sensitivity analysis shows that the use of spraying and grouting materials of low thermal conductivity for thermal insulation is a primary factor in determining the temperature field distribution, while the range of the grouting layer zone and the spray layer thickness are secondary factors. The influence of the increased surrounding rock radial depth and ventilation time is negligible. Thus, the application of thermal insulation spraying and grouting is essential for the thermal environment control of mine roadways. Furthermore, the research and development of new spraying and grouting materials with good thermal insulation capabilities should be considered.

Based on the geological conditions of 6# coal seam and 8# coal seam in Xieqiao Coal Mine, to determine reasonable entry layout of lower seam in multi-seam mining, alternate internal entry layout, alternate exterior entry layout and overlapping entry layout were put forward and simulated by FLAC3D. Then stress distribution and displacement characteristics of surrounding rock were analyzed in the three ways of entry layout, leading to the conclusion that alternate internal entry layout is a better choice for multi-seam mining, for which makes the entry located in stress reduce zone and reduces the influence of abutment pressure of upper coal seam mining to a certain extent,. And the mining practice of Xieqiao Coal Mine tested the results, which will offer a beneficial reference for entry layout with similar geological conditions in multi-seam mining.

To provide a theoretical basis for water prevention and control methods and reasonable supporting techniques for vertical shaft, and to ensure the shaft construction to pass the sandstone aquifer safely and rapidly, numerical simulation using dynamic damage constitutive model, which was a user-defined constitutive modules in FLAC3D, a lagrangian analysis code in three dimensions, has been applied to investigate the dynamic damage effect in the surrounding rock of the grouting curtain near the driving working face for vertical shaft excavated by blasting. The results indicate that the distribution of the damage zone in the surrounding rock of the shaft, which decreases the effective thickness of the grouting curtain, was like a ellip-se, and that the depth of the damage zone in the surrounding rock of the shaft grouting curtain is fewer than that of the driving face floor. It can be concluded that the centre part of the driving face floor, especially the cutting hole zones, and the shaft wall in the greater horizontal stress side are the " key parts " for shaft water prevention and control methods.
