Abstract:
This study researches the evolution of the artificial freezing temperature field in metro cross passages in high geothermal areas. A water-heat coupling numerical model was developed based on the engineering context of the Dongmen to Mindu Station cross passage of the Fuzhou Metro Binhai Express Line. The effects of seepage velocity, initial ground temperature, and brine temperature on the evolution of the temperature field were analyzed. The results indicate that groundwater flow leads to asymmetry in the thickness of the frozen curtain and the temperature distribution between the upstream and downstream areas. At a seepage velocity of 7.5 m/d, the frozen curtain in the upstream area does not reach the required design thickness after 55 days of freezing. Increasing the initial ground temperature accelerates the soil freezing rate but has minimal impact on the final temperature field. Lowering the brine temperature creates a large temperature gradient between the freezing pipe and the soil, accelerating the drop in soil temperature in the later freezing stages. The initial ground temperature primarily influences the frozen curtain closure time. Seepage velocity significantly impacts the time required for the frozen curtain to reach the design thickness.
