Integrated modeling and visual simulation of water inrush in an underground mine

This article is aimed at the three-dimensional visual simulation of water inrush in an underground mine. The topological properties of spatial relationships were presented based on the mining complex field theory and by analyzing the space geometry, distribution, vector property, and time sequence of field variables during a water inrush process. An integrated dynamic simulation model of water inrush in an underground mine was built and a visual simulation method of related attributes was put forward. After the voxel and field quantification treatment of spatial field variables, the dynamic flood spreading process was expressed visually by time step. With a typical underground mine as an example and through the analysis of relevant data, the dynamic visual simulation of water inrush in this underground mine was implemented and the model's feasibility and validity were tested and verified through this case study.
