This study presents a numerical method based on finite elements and a damage-viscoplasticity model for thermal jet drilling of granite rock. The approach was validated through experiments and found to be effective for drilling in hot rock mass. The study concludes that the method of thermal drilling exploiting heating-forced cooling cycles is viable for drilling in hot rock mass.
This paper presents a numerical study on thermal jet drilling of granite rock that is based on a thermal spallation phenomenon. For this end, a numerical method based on finite elements and a damage-viscoplasticity model are developed for solving the underlying coupled thermo-mechanical problem. An explicit time-stepping scheme is applied in solving the global problem, which in the present case is amenable to extreme mass scaling. Rock heterogeneity is accounted for as random clusters of finite elements representing rock constituent minerals. The numerical approach is validated based on experiments on thermal shock weakening effect of granite in a dynamic Brazilian disc test. The validated model is applied in three-dimensional simulations of thermal jet drilling with a short duration (0.2 s) and high intensity (approx. 3 MW m(-2)) thermal flux. The present numerical approach predicts the spalling as highly (tensile) damaged rock. Finally, it was shown that thermal drilling exploiting heating-forced cooling cycles is a viable method when drilling in hot rock mass. This article is part of the theme issue 'Fracture dynamics of solid materials: from particles to the globe'.
