Therefore, it is necessary to provide an experimental system and an experimental method for the crack impulse pressure propagation rule to make up for the deficiencies of the existing research and provide a guidance basis for the actual engineering.

First, the third valve 33 is opened, the air pumping mechanism 10 is started, and the air in the experimental system is pumped to be dry, including the inside of the simulated shaft 6, the inside of the shell 20 and the inside of the connecting pipe are pumped to be clean. Then the third valve 33 is closed and the first valve 31 and the second valve 32 are opened, and fracturing fluid is slowly injected into the simulated well bore 6 through the second flow passage. When the fracturing fluid flows into the first reservoir 91 through the first flow channel, all valves in the experimental system are closed, and the experimental system is filled with the fracturing fluid. And slowly increasing the pressure of the pulse pump 2 until the pressure reaches 20MPa, and checking whether the system has a liquid leakage phenomenon. If the liquid leakage phenomenon does not exist, the system is well connected; otherwise, the related equipment is replaced, and the equipment connection is checked again until the experimental equipment has no liquid leakage phenomenon.
When the experiment system has no liquid leakage phenomenon, the opening degree of the first valve 31 is adjusted to change the fracturing fluid filtration rate, and the filtration rate value is measured through the first detection unit 41 until the filtration rate is 0.00004 m/min. At this time, the fluid loss coefficient was 0.0002m/min0.5. Setting a pulse pump injection parameter, setting the frequency of the frequency controller 1 to be 10Hz, setting the injection pressure amplitude of the pulse pump 2 to be 10MPa, setting the waveform to be a sine line, continuously injecting the fracturing fluid in the second liquid storage container 92 into the simulated shaft 6, recording the numerical values of the pressure sensor and the flowmeter at each position until the numerical values are kept stable, and recording the liquid volume in the first liquid storage container 91 to represent the fracture filtration volume.
In an experiment, the collected pressure data may be converted into an image using origin software to analyze the relationship between the pressures at the monitoring points in the simulated wellbore 6, the relationship between the pressures at the monitoring points in the fracture 21, and the relationship between the pressure in the simulated wellbore 6 and the pressure in the fracture 21.
And changing the experimental working condition, and repeating the steps to carry out multiple groups of experiments. For example, the opening of the first valve 31 is adjusted to change the fluid loss rate of the fracturing fluid, and the fluid loss rate value is measured by the first detection unit 41 until the fluid loss rate is 0.00006m/min, i.e., the fluid loss coefficient is 0.0003m/min0.5All experiments were completed until the fluid loss coefficients were adjusted to the experimental data in table 1. Or, for example, a maximum relief height of the crack of 2.5mm is made using a 3D printing technique until the crack roughness is adjusted to the experimental data in table 2 to change the roughness of the crack 21, and all experiments are completed. Alternatively, for example, the number of the crack models 81 is 2 by using the 3D printing technique until the number of cracks is adjusted to the experimental data in table 3, and all the experiments are completed. In the above experiment process, the pulse pressure frequency and the pulse pressure amplitude may also be changed, and multiple sets of experiments are performed, which is not illustrated herein.
