Background
In recent years, with the start-up construction of major underground projects such as carbon dioxide geological storage, large-scale water conservancy and hydropower engineering, underground water resource development and management, high-level radioactive waste geological disposal and the like, disasters such as seepage damage, pollutant leakage and the like in fractured rock mass become important issues of major concern in engineering and theoretical circles. The single fracture is used as a foundation for researching a discrete fracture network rock mass, and the average fracture opening and the fracture roughness of the single fracture have important influences on seepage and solute transport mechanisms in rock fractures, so that the research on the influences of the single fracture variable opening and the roughness on fluid flow and solute transport processes in the fractured rock mass has important significance on improving safe and stable operation of large underground engineering such as nuclear waste disposal, underground pollutant treatment and the like. For the above major engineering problems, the method generally has the characteristics of large burial depth, complex ground stress conditions, large water pressure and the like, and how to conveniently and accurately change the opening degree and the crack roughness of the crack and how to ensure the sealing performance and the model strength of the model boundary under the action of high stress and high water pressure of the crack model is not deeply researched at present. Moreover, visualization of seepage or pollutant migration processes is difficult to realize by adopting real fracture materials, and the research on rock fracture visualization is rare.
In the disclosed technology, a high-temperature fracture seepage simulation device (application number 201711423221.X) capable of changing the fracture opening degree is used for uniformly placing ceramic support balls in the fractures among rock blocks and the fractures between the fractures; a variable-opening-degree rough crack for a visualization experiment and a manufacturing method thereof (application number 201910238486.5) change the average opening degree of the crack by placing rigid gaskets with different thicknesses between water stop baffles at two sides of an upper disc and a lower disc of the crack; a device capable of quantitatively adjusting rock rough fracture opening degree and a using method thereof (application number 201911396537.3) are characterized in that two clamping devices are used for clamping an upper disc and a lower disc of a fracture sample respectively, and different fracture opening degrees are obtained through adjustment of an electric lifting platform. Although the three methods can change the opening degree of the fracture, inevitable damage caused by insufficient strength of the model cannot ensure that the same distance is increased at each position of the fracture, the adjustment of the opening degree of the fracture is complex, the operation is inconvenient, the real-time monitoring of the change of physical parameters (such as water pressure) in the fracture is difficult to realize, the boundary sealing performance under the action of high water pressure is difficult to ensure, and the like, and the method is difficult to apply in experimental design.
