工程尺度缓冲材料热-水-力多场耦合数值模拟研究

Numerical Simulation of Coupled Thermal-Hydro-Mechanical(THM) Behavior of Buffer Material in China-Mock-up test at Engineering Scale

  • 摘要: 缓冲材料作为填充在废物罐与地质体之间重要的人工屏障,对高放废物处置库的长期安全至关重要。本文以工程尺度缓冲材料热-水-力多场耦合大型模型试验系统(China-Mock-up)为研究对象,采用有限元数值模拟软件LAGAMINE,考虑试验过程中复杂的边界条件与材料属性,实现了近5年试验数据的定量模拟。模拟结果可准确预测试验系统内部不同特征点温度随室温周期性波动及线性增长这一动态变化规律;能够较好反映不同特征点相对湿度随时间的行为演化趋势,在加热器附近区域呈现出先干燥后饱和的趋势,远离加热器区域则逐渐增大;模拟的总应力与实测试验数据间表现较好地一致性,能够反映试验台架内部不同特征点的总应力随时间逐渐增大这一演化过程。揭示了多场耦合条件下缓冲材料(膨润土块体)温度、湿度及应力的相互作用关系,为深入认识处置库环境下缓冲材料行为演化特征提供了重要的参考依据。

     

    Abstract: Buffer material plays a crucial role in the long-term safety of a high-level radioactive waste repository as it serves as a defense between the waste container and host rock. In this paper, to investigate the long-term performance of Gaomiaozi (GMZ) bentonite under repository conditions, we focused on China-Mock-up test at engineering scale and employed the finite element code LAGAMINE to establish the THM numerical model. The complex boundary conditions and material properties involved in the test was considered and the simulated results of temperature, relative humidity, and swelling pressure were compared with the experimental ones over the past five years. The temperature in the China-Mock-up test was found to be periodic and linear, primarily influenced by the room temperature, which was accurately captured by the proposed model. Furthermore, the overall variation of relative humidity at different locations was well reproduced. A desaturation-saturation process was observed in proximity to the heater, while it did not occur far from the heater. Additionally, the simulated results exhibited good agreement with the recorded data, effectively reflecting the increasing trend of stress over time. Besides, the interaction between temperature, humidity and stress of bentonite under coupled THM conditions was achieved. These findings provide valuable insights into the long-term behavior of buffer materials in a repository environment and serve as an important reference for further understanding.
