Better Than

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.

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.

High Pressure Water Jet

The evolvement of rock fracture is a complicated and nonlinear dynamic problem. On the assumption that rock is homogeneous and isotropic, a numerical model was developed to simulate rock fracture under high pressure water jet based on continuum damage mechanics and nonlinear finite element method. The dynamic effect of rock was simulated by the dynamic contact method under high pressure water jet. The numerical simulation results showed that rock failure occurred within several milliseconds and the evolvement of it was for step under high pressure water jet and that the stress propagation in rock rapidly decayed with the distance from the jet centre. On the whole, the numerical results clearly exhibited the process of rock fracture and the extent of the water jet under high pressure water jet. It was important to the application of jet cutting rock theory and the development of water jet technology.

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.

Nozzle Spacing

Nozzle spacing is an important factor influencing the effect of high-pressure water jet cleaning. When the nozzle incidence angle, the deflection angle and the target distance are determined, the size of the nozzle spacing determines the overlap of the water jet, the overlap is too large or too small will reduce the cleaning effect. In this paper ,using CFD software to simulate the flow field inside and outside of the high-pressure water jet nozzle, analysis the jet axial velocity, pressure distribution, and discussed this changes in the case of different spacing between the nozzles when the nozzle structure are same, and choose an reasonable spacing to ensure the cleaning effect.
