It is assumed that the pipe flow would transform into seepage flow when the aggregates are plugged into the water inrush channel and the seepage flow would disappear along with grouting process. The simulation results show that the flow velocity will increase with an increase in height of aggregates accumulation body during the aggregates filling process; the maximum seepage velocity occurs on the top of plugging zone; and the water flow decreases with increasing plugging height of water inrush channel. Finally, the field construction results show that the water inrush channel can be plugged effectively by the compacted body prepared with aggregate and cement slurry.展开更多

The set of TMHD equations is formulated for simulation of macroscopic plasma dynamics and disruptions in tokamaks. Free from the Courant restriction on the time step, this set of equations is adequate to plasma dynamics with realistic parameters of high performance plasmas and does not require any extension of the MHD plasma model. At the same time, TMHD requires the use of magnetic field aligned numerical grids. Examples of their use in 2-dimensional cases of tokamak equilibria and dynamics of the wall touching kink mode are presented. For the 3-dimensional case of an ergodic magnetic field, this paper introduces the reference magnetic coordinates as a practical algorithm for generating adaptive grids for TMHD.展开更多
