This research aims to simulate water-mud-inrush disasters in fault fracture zones during tunnel excavation.
Developed a fluid-solid coupling model for simulation
Conducted numerical simulations based on a specific tunnel case
Performed theoretical analysis and similar simulation tests
Vertical displacement of the tunnel vault increases with excavation
Maximum pore water pressure rises as the tunnel face approaches the fault
Stress concentration observed at the arch wall and fault corner areas
