The maximum stress of the virtual spring 5 in the normal direction is related to the contact area and tensile strength of the block units 1, while the maximum stress in the tangential direction is related to the contact area, matrix shear strength and internal friction angle of the block units 1, and when the positions of two adjacent block units 1 are fixed, the maximum stress that the corresponding virtual spring 5 can bear is also fixed.

when the normal stress is larger than the maximum normal stress, the block units 1 are separated from each other, at the moment, the virtual spring 5 is subjected to tensile fracture, and the two block units 1 are not stressed after being broken;
When the tangential stress is greater than the maximum tangential stress, the block units 1 slide each other, and at this time, the virtual spring 5 is sheared and broken, and because there is contact between the two blocks, there is stress between each other, the normal stress is unchanged, and the tangential stress becomes residual shearing resistance.

After the crack is expanded, fluid flows into all crack expansion positions, cracks with larger width are connected in series according to the width of the crack to form a dominant expansion path of the fluid, the pressure of the rock mass born by the fluid on the dominant expansion path is minimum, the fluid can preferentially flow on the dominant expansion path, so that the impact pressure of the fluid on the rock mass is reduced, the rock mass crack is not increased any more, at the moment, after the temporary plugging unit is arranged on the dominant expansion path, the permeability of the temporary plugging unit is greatly reduced, the fluid is diverted and fractured, whether the crack is expanded is calculated according to the formula of the steps, so that the temporary plugging post-fracturing diversion process in the rock mass crack is simulated, and a design optimization basis is provided for how to increase the complexity of the crack subsequently.
In the embodiment, a discrete crack model is constructed based on a discrete element method; based on a weak coupling method, a fluid flow equation and a rock mass deformation equation are combined, the fluid flow equation is subjected to discrete and iterative processing to obtain a slit fluid pressure, and the slit fluid pressure is input into the rock mass deformation equation to obtain a slit width; and acquiring the stress born by the virtual spring based on the width of the crack, judging whether the virtual spring is broken or not according to the stress born by the virtual spring and the maximum stress of the virtual spring, and if so, realizing the mathematical simulation effect of complex steering after temporary plugging in the crack by using a crack expansion method. The state change of the virtual spring 5 causes the change of a stress formula and then fluid moves towards different cracks, so that the simulation of complex crack expansion behaviors in the temporary plugging and fracturing process is realized by using a mathematical method.

An in-seam temporary plugging diverting fracturing simulation method comprises the following steps:
firstly, constructing a discrete fracture model, wherein the discrete fracture model comprises a plurality of block units simulating a discrete rock matrix, and the block units are connected through virtual springs;
then, constructing a fluid flow equation and a rock mass deformation equation, performing discrete and iterative processing on the fluid flow equation to obtain a slit fluid pressure, and inputting the slit fluid pressure into the rock mass deformation equation to obtain a slit width;
And finally, obtaining the stress born by the virtual spring based on the crack width, and judging whether the virtual spring is broken or not according to the stress born by the virtual spring and the maximum stress of the virtual spring, if so, expanding the crack.
In one possible design, a fluid flow equation and a rock mass deformation equation are constructed based on discrete fracture models, respectively, and then the fracture widths are solved concurrently. The method comprises the following specific steps:
S201, constructing a fluid flow equation based on an incompressible fluid parallel plate flow equation:
Wherein w is the width of the crack which dynamically changes along with time, and m; p is the fluid pressure in the slit, pa, which dynamically changes with time; q is the liquid injection rate, m 3/s; mu is the viscosity of the fluid, pa.s; q l is fluid loss velocity, m/s.
After the liquid injection rate q, the fluid viscosity mu and the fluid filtration stall degree q l are brought in, the fluid flow equation is discretized by a Galerkin finite element method, and then the fluid pressure p in the seam is solved by a Picard iteration method.
When the iteration method solves the problem that the convergence is not satisfied, adopting an acceleration algorithm to solve the problem:
pm+1=(1-β)pm+βpm+1
wm+1=(1-β)wm+βwm+1
wherein, the subscript m represents an iteration step, and the value of beta is 0 to 0.5.
S202, constructing a rock mass deformation equation based on a linear elastic dynamic balance equation:

Carrying in the obtained slit fluid pressure, solving the derivative sigma ij,j of the cauchy stress tensor, and inputting the derivative sigma ij,j of the cauchy stress tensor into the rock mass deformation equation to obtain a splitting displacement u;
Since there is a correspondence between the crack displacement and the crack width between the block units, the crack displacement u can be equivalent to the crack width.
In one possible design, to avoid overlapping of two block units, the minimum seam width is constructed as the residual seam width w res, the formula:
Wherein w 0 is the initial joint unit seam width, m; f n0 is the normal stress at w 0/2, pa;

Wherein k is the matrix block permeability; after the initial joint cell seam width is determined, its corresponding F n0 is available, thereby determining the value of the residual seam width w res.
Permeability refers to the ability of a fluid to pass through a pore. After temporary plugging, the fluid is difficult to pass through the temporary plugging unit, so that the permeability of the temporary plugging unit can be reduced to be very low, and the temporary plugging simulation is realized. The seam width after temporary plugging meets the seam width formula of an initial joint unit:
Based on the principle that the flow capacity of fluid in a joint is reduced by temporary plugging, the influence of the temporary plugging on the permeability of the joint is represented by a reduction coefficient alpha p, and the joint width of an initial joint unit can be obtained after the temporary plugging is brought in, wherein the permeability of the temporary plugging unit is as follows:

TABLE 1 demonstration of example model parameters
Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of the hydraulic fracture propagation morphology in a natural fracture reservoir based on the demonstration example described above. As shown in fig. 4a, when the temporary plugging is not performed, the hydraulic fracture directly passes through the natural fracture, the formed fracture is simpler in shape, and the coverage area of the fracture network is lower. This is because the horizontal stress difference is large, and conventional fracturing is difficult to open natural fractures to form complex slotted networks. It is desirable to block the potentially advantageous propagation path of the fracture to increase the complexity of the mesh. As shown in fig. 4b-d, after the plugging location and number are preferred, plugging is performed, whereupon the fracture deflects multiple times and multiple natural fractures are opened, eventually forming a more complex network of fractures in the target area of reservoir formation.
