Abstract

In this research, the finite-element numerical software COMSOL Multiphysics is used to simulate the electric pulse rock-breaking process, and the novel numerical model takes into account the multiple fields of electrical, thermal, and mechanical physics. The electric field strength inside the rock under the action of the electric pulse is updated by the full coupling function of COMSOL (version 6.1) software, and the electric damage variable χ is used to describe the process of electric breakdown inside the rock, to simulate the formation of plasma channel in the process of electric pulse rock-breaking. The voltage change curves and plasma channel trajectories in the electric breakdown process of the model in this paper are compared with the literature to verify the accuracy of the model. The formation process of plasma channels captures the temperature and stress changes during the whole process of electric pulse rock-breaking, to reveal the mechanism of the electric pulse rock-breaking process. With the presence of conductive particles inside the rock, the particles can effectively promote the formation of plasma channels, increase the area of electrical damage, and improve rock-breaking efficiency. Before the formation of the plasma channel, the internal temperature of the rock is about 600 K, and the stress is about 10−2 MPa; when the channel is formed, the energy of the electric pulse is mainly concentrated in the plasma channel, and the temperature of the plasma channel rises to 104 K. When the maximum stress exceeds the critical stress of the rock, the rock undergoes fracture. Furthermore, an appropriate increase in the rise time of the electric pulse increases the speed and area of rock-breaking, subsequently improving the efficiency of rock fracture. The results of the numerical modeling in this paper help to better understand the mechanism of the electric pulse rock-breaking process, which is of great engineering significance for the development of new electric pulse rock-breaking technology in the realm of geotechnical engineering.

13. Stimulation characteristics of natural reservoir system under high-voltage electropulse-assisted fluid injection

Abstract

This study elucidates the findings of a computational investigation into the stimulation characteristics of natural reservoir systems enhanced by high-voltage electropulse-assisted fluid injection. The presented methodology delineates the comprehensive rock-fracturing process induced by electropulse and subsequent fluid injection, encompassing the discharge circuit, plasma channel formation, shockwave propagation, and hydro-mechanical response. A hydromechanical model incorporating an anisotropic plastic damage constitutive law, discrete fracture networks, and heterogeneous distribution is developed to represent the natural reservoir system. The results demonstrate that high-voltage electropulse effectively generates intricate fracture networks, significantly enhances the hydraulic properties of reservoir systems, and mitigates the adverse impact of ground stress on fracturing. The stimulation-enhancing effect of electropulse is observed to intensify with increasing discharge voltage, with enhancements of 118.0%, 139.5%, and 169.0% corresponding to discharge voltages of 20 kV, 40 kV, and 60 kV, respectively. Additionally, a high-voltage electropulse with an initial voltage of U0= 80 kV and capacitance C= 5 μF has been shown to augment the efficiency of injection activation to approximately 201.1% compared to scenarios without electropulse. Under the influence of high-voltage electropulse, the fluid pressure distribution diverges from the conventional single direction of maximum stress, extending over larger areas. These innovative methods and findings hold potential implications for optimizing reservoir stimulation in geo-energy engineering.
