Numerical Simulation of Compressive Experiment of Coal Seam in Deep Underground for Geological Storage of Carbon Dioxide

Abstract:

The geological storage of has been recognized as an important strategy to reduce emission in the atmosphere. Coal seam has strong absorption capacity for , hence the coal seam can be used as geological storage reservoirs, simple and easy to use modeling tools would be valuable in assessing the performance of deep underground geological storage. In this paper failure process of coal seam in deep underground under triaxial compressive experiment is presented by numerical simulation. That is of significance and valuable to those subjects of investigation of strength of coal seam in deep underground and mechanism of propagation and coalescence and evolvement of crack for coal seam in deep underground, it is shown by numerical simulation that failure shape of coal seam in deep underground under triaxial compressive experiment of lateral pressure of 25Mpa is typically shear failure, and characteristic of deformation is obviously elastic-brittle, which is significance to understand the performance of the coal seam in deep underground
