Numerical Simulation of Mixed Emulsion Explosive Charging in Water-Filled-Hole

Article Preview

Abstract:

When charging in water-filled-hole with emulsion mixed loading truck, if the charging hose can not reach the borehole bottom, there will be a water column in the charge. Emulsion explosive charging in water-filled-hole is simulated under three conditions with different water levels, charging velocity and hole diameter when the hose of the explosive mixed loading truck does not reach the hole bottom. The results show that explosive can not reach the bottom of the blasthole if the water depth exceeds the maximum effective range of the jet flow, which is proportional to charging speed and hole diameter, and there will exist a water column at the bottom of the hole. To prevent that, the distance between the hose outlet and the hole bottom must be shorter than the effective range when charging. Besides, increasing charging velocity also works.
