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 high pressure waterjet is widely applied for mine industry, mechanical manufacture, environmental engineering, and medicine field due to its particular characteristic. Recently, the application of high pressure waterjet for gas drainage in mine has been receiving increasing attention with the development of exploitative technology. The micro-damage mechanism of coal under high pressure water jet is key to drain gas effectively. Based on damage mechanics and rock dynamics, the paper analyzed the micro-structure deformation and damage of rock and the impulsive effect under high pressure water jet and developed the dynamic model. Further, on the assumption of that rock was homogeneous and isotropic, a computational model was established based on the Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) fluid-solid coupling penalty function method. The rock damage under high pressure water jet was simulated by the dynamic contact method. The results showed that the damage and breakage of ruck was mainly attributed to impacting effect and was characterized by local effect, and the evolvement of rock breakage went through three stages and the figure of rock breakage trended a funnel. On the whole, numerical results agreed with experimental results.

The technology of high pressure water jet in radial drilling has currently been used widely at home and abroad. A numerical simulation and analysis of the internal and external flow fields of jet nozzle will 1ay the foundation for the further study of high pressure water jet rock breaking. The physical and mathematical models of axial-symmetrical submerged jet rock breaking with single nozzle were established. And a numerical simulation of the internal and external flow fields of high pressure water jet nozzle in radial drilling was conducted with the Fluent software. The 1aws of the internal and external flow fields were analyzed in different jet distances and inlet flow rates.

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.
