摘要:

为满足尾矿坝风险评估和下游防灾区监测预警的需求,以芒市某金矿尾矿坝为对象,分析不同溃坝模式下尾砂流时空演化特征。构建三维地质单元耦合模型,设置强降雨洪水漫顶溃坝情景,选取溃口宽度178、89、20 m等3种典型模式,模拟尾砂流流速分布、流量变化、淤埋深度、淹没范围及冲击力传播过程,评估下游区域危险度及风险演化特征。结果表明:尾砂流动力演化呈初始加速、扩展增强、能量衰减3阶段特征,溃口宽度显著影响尾砂流流速、流量及淹没范围,溃口越大,释放动能越强,波及范围越广,流量变化越显著;溃口宽度为178 m时,流量达到最大值1 925.31 m3/s;不同溃口模式下,冲击力空间分布存在差异,较小溃口对下游关键区域局部冲击作用更强,且冲击力随距坝体距离增加而减弱;溃口宽度为89 m、距坝脚300 m处,尾砂流最大冲击力达到18 kN/m,而距坝脚600 m处最大冲击力降至5 kN/m;尾砂流淤埋深度和淹没范围沿主流方向逐渐减小,距坝体越远,流动影响越弱。强降雨漫顶溃坝条件下,尾砂流致灾危险度受溃口宽度、下泄动能、传播距离及地形约束共同控制,其风险演化表现为近坝区高流速、高冲击力和高淤埋危险,中远距离区域随能量耗散而危险度逐步降低。

Abstract:

To address the requirements for tailings dam risk assessment and monitoring/early warning in downstream disaster-prone areas, this study analyzes the spatial and temporal evolution characteristics of tailings flow under different dam-break modes, taking a gold mine tailings dam in Mangshi as the object.A three-dimensional geological-unit coupled model was established, and a heavy-rainfall-induced flood overtopping failure scenario was designed. Three typical breach-width modes, namely 178, 89, and 20 m, were selected to simulate the velocity distribution, discharge variation, deposition depth, inundation extent, and impact-force propagation process of tailings flow, thereby evaluating the hazard degree and risk evolution characteristics of downstream area. The results show that the dynamic evolution of the tailings flow exhibits three stages: initial acceleration, expansion development and energy attenuation. Breach width significantly affects the velocity, discharge, and inundation extent of the tailings flow. A larger breach releases greater kinetic energy, affects a wider area, and results in more pronounced discharge variation. When the breach width is 178 m, the discharge reaches a maximum of 1 925.31 m3/s. Under different breach modes, the spatial distribution of impact force varies. Smaller breach exerts stronger local impact on key downstream areas, and the impact force decreases with increasing distance from the dam. At a breach width of 89 m, the maximum impact force of tailings flow reaches 18 kN/m at 300 m from the dam toe, and decreases to 5 kN/m at 600 m. The buried depth and inundation extent of the tailings flow gradually decrease along the main flow direction, and the flow influence weakens farther away from the dam. Under heavy-rainfall-induced overtopping failure, the disaster hazard degree of tailings flow is jointly controlled by breach width, discharged kinetic energy, propagation distance, and topographic constraints. The risk evolution is characterized by high flow velocity, strong impact force and high buried hazard in the near-dam area, while the hazard degree of middle and far downstream areas gradually decreases with energy dissipation.
