Abstract

In this paper, a numerical analysis of one-dimensional viscous fluid flow in a rock joint using UDEC code is performed to evaluate the effect of design parameters on injection performance. We consider injection pressure, fluid compressibility, time dependence of yield strength and viscosity of injected grout fluid, and mechanical deformation of joint as the design parameters, and penetration length and flow rate of injection are investigated as the injection performance. Numerical estimations of penetration length and flow rate were compared to analytical solution and were well comparable with each other. We showed that cumulative injection volume can be over-estimated by 1.2 times than the case that the time-dependent viscosity evolution is not considered. We also carried out a coupled fluid flow and mechanical deformation analysis and demonstrated that injection-induced joint opening may result in the increment of cumulative volume by 4.4 times of that from the flow only analysis in which joint aperture is kept constant.

본 연구에서는 암반 절리 내 점성유체 주입시 주입 설계변수가 주입 성능에 미치는 영향을 평가할 목적으로 UDEC 프로그램을 사용하여 1차원 선형유동 해석을 수행하였다. 주입 설계변수로는 주입 압력, 유체 압축률, 주입재의 항복강도 및 점성도의 시간의존성, 주입 압력에 의한 절리의 역학적 변형을 설정하였으며, 주입재의 침투거리 및 주입 유량을 통해 주입 성능을 평가하였다. 수치해석 결과는 이론해를 통하여 파악한 주입 성능양상과 유사한 결과를 보였다. 주입재의 항복강도 및 점성도의 시간의존성을 고려하지 않을 경우, 주입재의 누적 주입량은 시간의존성을 고려한 해석에 비하여 약 1.2배 크게 평가되었다. 또한, 수리-역학 연계해석결과로부터 주입 압력에 의한 절리의 역학적 변형이 발생하는 경우, 절리 간극이 일정한 수리유동 해석에 비하여 누적 주입량이 약 4.4배 늘어나는 결과를 보였다.
