The temperature field in
tunnels with high ground temperatures is influenced by multiple factors during
their construction, and the field evolution mechanism is complex. To understand
this phenomenon, the distribution characteristics of the rock temperature,
surrounding temperature, and wind speed in a tunnel are investigated;
additionally, laboratory experiments are conducted to examine the change rules
of the thermophysical parameters of the surrounding rock, primary support, and
secondary lining materials under different temperatures. Subsequently, an
unstable mathematical model is implemented using the COMSOL numerical
simulation software. This model examines the evolution law of the temperature
field throughout the tunnel excavation process, including primary support and
secondary lining construction. Finally, a prediction model for the maximum
temperature of the primary support and secondary lining during the construction
period is established through multiple function regression analysis. Results reveal
the following key insights: (1) With increasing temperature in the tunnel, the
thermal diffusion coefficient of surrounding rock exhibits a quadratic
decreasing trend, specific heat capacity demonstrates a quadratic increasing
trend, and thermal conductivity decreases following an upward concave quadratic
function. (2) The thermal diffusion coefficients of the primary support and
secondary lining materials show a quadratic decreasing pattern. Meanwhile, the
specific heat capacity of these materials initially increases and then
decreases with rising temperature, indicating the nonlinear behavior of their
thermal energy storage characteristics. (3) When the maximum temperature in the
primary support and secondary lining of the tunnel is used as the characteristic
points, the increasing rock and surrounding temperature in the tunnel linearly
increases the maximum temperature in primary support and secondary lining.
Meanwhile, an increase in the return air speed effectively lowers the
temperature quickly at first and then slowly.
