In order to explore the influence of internal water on the seismic response of hydraulic tunnel, the combined mechanical analysis models of multimaterial including surrounding rock, lining structure, and internal water are built. Based on the explicit central difference method, the dynamic finite element analysis methods for rock, lining, and water are discussed, respectively. The dynamic contact force method is used to simulate the rock-lining contact interaction, and the arbitrary Lagrange-Euler (ALE) method is used to simulate the lining-water coupling interaction. Then a numerical simulation analysis method for combined seismic response of rock-lining-water system in hydraulic tunnel is proposed, and the detailed solving steps are given. This method is used to study the seismic stability characteristics of the water diversion tunnel in a hydropower station, and the displacement, stress, and damage failure characteristics of the lining structure under the conditions of no water, static water, and dynamic water are comparatively analyzed. The results show that the hydrostatic pressure restricts the seismic response of the lining, while the hydrodynamic pressure exacerbates its seismic response and leads to damage, separation, and slip failure appearing on the haunch, which can provide a scientific reference for the seismic design of hydraulic tunnel with high water head and large diameter.
