摘要: 我国沿海地区及河湖区域广泛分布高饱和土,其内部封闭游离气泡对温度和压力变化敏感,土骨架、孔隙水、游离气泡间易发生复杂固液气热耦合作用,显著改变土体压缩和渗流特性。基于OpenGeoSys有限元平台,对饱和土多场耦合控制方程进行维度扩充,使其应用范围扩展至高饱和土;引入气体质量守恒方程,嵌入Clapeyron和Kelvin-Laplace等方程实现气体状态表征和液气两相流运移过程描述;建立了高饱和土固液气热耦合分析模型,丰富了OpenGeoSys平台二次开发基准代码库。通过已有试验和数值结果验证了模型正确性,并进一步探索了高饱和土固液气热耦合时变行为。分析表明,高饱和土封闭气泡的存在显著改变土体固结进程;温压环境改变时,土中孔压初期消散占优,随着热量传递、温度作用增强,孔压由消散转为累积并达峰值;温度上升加速气体扩散,温度越高孔压消散速率增幅越大。Abstract: Unsaturated soils with high saturation (USHS) are widely distributed around the coastal areas and rivers / lakes in China, whose internal free bubbles are sensitive to temperature and pressure, causing complex thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) coupling responses and subsequent changes of soil compression and seepage characteristics. Based on the FEM platform OpenGeoSys, the governing equations for saturated soils are expanded to be applied for USHS by introducing the gas mass equation. The Clapeyron, Kelvin-Laplace and other equations are embedded, and a THM coupling model for USHS is established, thus enriching the processes and functions of OpenGeoSys. Verification cases are carried out by comparing with the experimental and numerical results, and then the coupling behaviors of USHS are further explored. It is revealed that the consolidation process of soils can be significantly affected by closed bubbles. When temperature and pressure change, the pressure dissipation dominates initially, whereas accumulates and reaches the peak with heat transfer and enhancement. The gas diffusion can be accelerated by temperature rise, meaning greater pressure dissipation rate accompanied by higher temperature.
