Zusammenfassung: | Coal seams are generally characterized by high pressure, low permeability, and strong adsorption in China. Moreover, carbon dioxide phase transition blasting (CDPTB) is an effective way to achieve pressure relief and permeability enhancement in high-gas pressure coal seams. Multiple fractures can be created in the coal body by CDPTB due to its characteristics of having a great impact stress and high energy efficiency. To determine the dual characteristics of coal fracturing and seepage after CDPTB, this paper developed a fluid solid coupling programme based on CDPTB cracking and permeability enhancement, which unifies the fracture and seepage of CDPTB. FLAC was used to determine the distribution characteristics of the stresses and fractures caused by CDPTB. The results showed fracture propagation from the initial fracture to multiple additional fractures or the main fractures over time. Then, the fractures were introduced into COMSOL software to simulate the characteristics of the gas flow field. The main fracture forms an effective channel for gas flow, which greatly reduces the gas pressure in coal. The successful application of CDPTB in the field induced the increase in the gas drainage effect by 10-20 times. |
