Drainage Effect

Abstract Drainage for decreasing water pressure is one of the effective measures to prevent and control water disaster caused of coal mining above high pressure limestone aquifer. The deep limestone aquifer in Huaibei mining area generally has the characteristics of high water pressure, low permeability and uneven water abundance so it is generally difficult to meet the requirements for single-hole drainage. In order to achieve the best drainage effect and consider the requirements of engineering quantity and environmental protection, a multi-objective group hole drainage optimization model was established, which takes the minimum of single-hole flow rate and hole number as the objective function and the requirements of drainage borehole and water level control point drawdown as the constraint conditions. And the particle swarm optimization algorithm was used to solve the model. On this basis, the influence of permeability coefficient and water storage coefficient on the calculation results was discussed. The results show that the permeability coefficient and water storage coefficient have great influence on the optimization of single-hole flow rate and the number of holes. For the low permeability aquifer, measures such as using partially penetrated well, appropriately increasing the number of drainage boreholes and reducing the single-hole flow rate have good drainage effect. And the drilling work amount and total drainage amount are relatively small. These are all good layout schemes for drainage. According to the results of optimization, the drainage of a coal face in Huaibei was guided and achieved good results.

The water pressure test and steady-flow pumping test are still commonly used for measuring the permeability coefficient of rock and soil strata. Limited by the fact that the average value of the permeability coefficient could be obtained only by this testing method, the accuracy of the experimental results of the permeability coefficient for special rock and soil strata is not good. Therefore, a new on-site testing method and equipment for continuously measuring the permeability coefficient of rock and soil strata is studied in this paper. The method is suitable for water pressure testing in borehole and the steady-flow pumping test. The technical proposal is when the pumping test or water pressure test is carried out, the final water penetration will tend to be a stable value, and then, the high-precision current meter probe will be placed at the bottom of the pumping test hole or water pressure test hole. For the pumping test, the current meter will be lifted uniformly from the bottom of the borehole testing section to the stable water level. Meanwhile, the flow rate of a differential zone of the tested section is continuously detected. For the water pressure test, the current meter will be lifted uniformly from the bottom of the borehole test section to the top of the borehole test section, and the flow rate of the differential section will be continuously detected. Through data analysis and processing, not only the average permeability coefficient of the detected sections can be obtained but also the permeability coefficient of the differential section of the rock and soil stratum can be calculated, respectively. Furthermore, the corresponding relationship between the permeability coefficient and the detected location can be obtained. In view of the abovementioned reasons, the leaking point, the specific position, and the leakage quantity of the detected section could be found out accurately, which will improve the accuracy of the testing results obviously.

Abstract Drainage to lower water pressure is an effective measure for preventing and controlling water ingress when mining above a confined aquifer. The deep limestone aquifer in the Huaibei mining area, China, generally has high pressure, low permeability and variable water abundance, so it is difficult to meet single-borehole drainage requirements. In order to achieve good drainage, and take into account engineering and environmental protection requirements, a multi-objective optimization model of group borehole drainage was established. The model takes the minimization of single-hole flow and borehole numbers as the objective functions, and the drawdown in drainage boreholes and the water level control point as the constraint conditions. The particle swarm optimization algorithm was used to solve the model. The results indicate that, for a low permeability aquifer, measures such as using partially penetrating wells, increasing the number of drainage boreholes appropriately and reducing individual borehole yield have good drainage effects. The extent of drilling and amount of drainage are also relatively small. This is all to the good for the drainage. When the optimization results were applied to coal-face drainage in Huaibei the outcome was good.

The effect of cutting parameters such as water pressure, nozzle traverse speed and standoff distance on the granite cutting performance as characterized by kerf width, kerf taper, and striation drag angle are researched with a series of experiments using garnetabrasive and ultra high pressure abrasive water jet numerical control machine tool. The relationship between system pressure and abrasive mass flow rate is also studied. The research results show that the abrasive mass flow rate is only proportional to water pressure and the effect of other cutting parameters is not significant. It is found that an increase in water pressure is associated with an increased kerf width and a decreased kerf taper. The kerf width decreases with the enhancement of nozzle traverse speed, and resulting in a significant increase in kerf taper as the nozzle traverse speed increases. The kerf width increases with the enhancement of standoff distance, and hence it causes a significant increase in kerf taper at the standoff distance domain from 3mm to 4mm and then a little decrease in kerf taper at the standoff distance increasing from 4mm to 5mm. The striation drag angle decreases with an increase in water pressure and a decrease in nozzle traverse speed.

Testing Methodology

The bucket-wheel dredge “Kovin I” for underwater coal mining with bucket-wheel type UCW-450 has been in operation for over 20 years. Based on analyzing the bucket-wheel dredger performance, productivity, maintenance costs, and reliability, a rational decision was made: to rehabilitate the most essential parts of the dredge, including the bucket wheel and the gearbox. However, the selection and construction of the excavator parts were performed on the ground of available laboratory data for digging resistance. The data itself was determined by the testing methodology that did not include the influence of surrounding water pressure at a certain depth of mining. According to the previous findings, it was necessary to develop a specific research and testing program that would involve appropriate laboratory testing of the geomechanical parameters. These were to represent the influence of hydrostatic water pressure on the working environment—coal. Nevertheless, geomechanical laboratory research tests were initially modified to provide reliable data of cutting resistance, especially in the water under different hydrostatic pressures, fully simulating the “in situ” working conditions of mining, i.e., cutting.

Affected by the coupling of excavation disturbance and ground stress, the heterogeneity of surrounding rock is very common. Presently, treating the permeability coefficient as a fixed value will reduce the prediction accuracy of the water inflow and the external water pressure of the structure, leading to distortion of the prediction results. Aiming at this problem, this paper calculates and analyzes tunnel water inflow when considering the heterogeneity of permeability coefficient of surrounding rock using a theoretical analysis method, and compares with field data, and verifies the rationality of the formula. The research shows that, when the influence of excavation disturbance and ground stress on the permeability coefficient of surrounding rock is ignored, the calculated value of the external water force of the tunnel structure is too small, and the durability and stability of the tunnel are reduced, which is detrimental to the safety of the structure. Considering the heterogeneity of surrounding rock, the calculation error of water inflow can be reduced from 27.3% to 13.2%, which improves the accuracy of water inflow prediction to a certain extent.

Centrifugal compressors used for turbochargers need to achieve a wide operating range. The author has developed a high pressure ratio centrifugal compressor with pressure ratio 5.7 for a marine use turbocharger. In order to enhance operating range, two different types of recirculation devices were applied. One is a conventional recirculation device. The other is a new one. The conventional recirculation device consists of an upstream slot, bleed slot and the annular cavity which connects both slots. The new recirculation device has vanes installed in the cavity. These vanes were designed to provide recirculation flow with negative preswirl at the impeller inlet, a swirl counterwise to the impeller rotational direction. The benefits of the application of both of the recirculation devices were ensured. The new device in particular, shifted surge line to a lower flow rate compared to the conventional device. This paper discusses how the new recirculation device affects the flow field in the above transonic centrifugal compressor by using steady 3-D calculations. Since the conventional recirculation device injects the flow with positive preswirl at the impeller inlet, the major difference between the conventional and new recirculation device is the direction of preswirl that the recirculation flow brings to the impeller inlet. This study focuses on two effects which preswirl of the recirculation flow will generate. (1) Additional work transfer from impeller to fluid. (2) Increase or decrease of relative Mach number. Negative preswirl increases work transfer from the impeller to fluid as the flow rate reduces. It increases negative slope on pressure ratio characteristics. Hence the recirculation flow with negative preswirl will contribute to stability of the compressor. Negative preswirl also increases the relative Mach number at the impeller inlet. It moves shock downstream compared to the conventional recirculation device. It leads to the suppression of the extension of blockage due to the interaction of shock with tip leakage flow.

In order to solve subgrade problems during the road construction in the shallow ground water area, light well point drainage technology is used, combined with the zhengbian logistics road. This paper expounds application principle of the light well point drainage, calculation and construction methods. When using light well point drainage, the appropriate permeability coefficient is 4 m/d relatively. If using water rushed law construction, water pressure should be controlled in 0.3-0.7 MPa. After well point equipment operates for 3-5 days, the foundation will form the precipitation funnel; then, soil can be excavated after drainaging 7-8d. It is shown that the light well point drainaging can reduce underground water lefficiently.

AbstractIn August 1961 an aluminum pipe (3.5 cm. internal diameter, 4.2 cm. external diameter) having 92 specially modified socket couplings (5.0 cm. external diameter) sealed with a quick-polymerizing synthetic rubber was sunk 226 m. in a vertical water-filled bore hole in Blue Glacier, Washington. U.S.A. The geometry of threads and mating surfaces of pipe and coupling was designed to cause increasing external water pressure to tighten the seal. One joint at a depth of 66 m. immediately developed an extremely slow leak (probably because of faulty cleaning), but the other 91 joints apparently were sound, as the pipe was free of water to a depth of at least 157 m. when resurveyed after one year.

Rainwater Infiltration

The SEEP/W module of finite element software GEO-slope is used to analyze the effects of fracture depth, permeability coefficient ratio, fracture angle, and fracture number on the rainwater infiltration process. Moreover, the effect of fracture seepage anisotropy on slope stability is discussed combining with unsaturated seepage theory. The results show that the pore water pressure in the fracture increases rapidly with the rainfall until it changes from negative pressure to positive pressure. The greater the fracture depth is, the greater the pore water pressure in the fracture is, and the greater the infiltration depth at the time of rainfall stopping is. When the permeability coefficient is greater than the rainfall intensity, the permeability coefficient ratio has a great influence on the infiltration process of rainwater. The smaller the fracture angle is, the greater the maximum pore water pressure is in the fracture depth range, and the greater the depth of the positive pore water pressure is. However, with the increase of fracture angle, the infiltration depth decreases, and the range of the surface saturation area of slope increases obviously. With the increase of fracture density, the saturated positive pressure region is connected to each other in the slope. The influence range and the degree of the rainwater on the seepage field are larger and larger. There is a power relation between the saturation area and the fracture number, and also the concentration distribution of long fractures directly forms the large-connected saturated zone and raises groundwater. The range of the saturated zone and variation law of the pore water pressure under fracture seepage are obtained, which provide a reference for the parameter partition assignment of slope stability analysis under fracture seepage.
