Abstract:

Based on the LS-DYNA software, a single TNT explosion in a turning tunnel is simulated to verify the accuracy of the simulation using LS-DYNA, and the effects of the variable angle θ and the radius of curvature R on the propagation law of shock wave in the turning tunnel are studied. The results show that, when θ and R are small, the changes of θ and R have a greater effect on the changes of shock wave parameters at the tunnel deflection, and the effect is smaller at the far field; when θ is 90° and R is 0mm, the pressure on the outer wall surface at the deflection in the tunnel is 2.17 times of the pressure on the inner wall surface. With the increase of θ, the peak overpressure of the reflected shock wave decreases, and the energy distribution of the shock wave tends to change to the back tunnel, and the peak overpressure at the far field decreases first and then increases; with the increase of R, the reflection phenomenon of the shock wave at the change of direction is not obvious, and the peak overpressure of the reflected shock wave is low; and with the increase of θ and R, the difference between the peak overpressures of the reflected pressures received by the outer wall surface and the inner wall surface decreases. When θ and R are increased to a certain degree, respectively, the effect of changing θ and R on the change of shock wave parameters in the whole tunnel is not obvious, but the pressure on the outer wall surface is still slightly higher than that on the inner wall surface.
