Study on coal permeability evolution considering adsorptive deformation characteristics of matrix by Gang WANG, Mingzhen WANG, Zhiyong XIAO, Xiaoxiang SUN, Wenwen JIA, Feng JIANG, Chengcheng ZHENG

“…The field data and laboratory data are used to compare and verify the proposed model, and the influence of non-uniform adsorption of matrix region on permeability evolution is analyzed by finite element software. The results show that: ① The proposed model has a high matching degree with field and laboratory experimental data, and the permeability prediction data under different boundary conditions have high reliability. ② The permeability of the non-adsorption expansion area of the matrix will be reduced by the squeezing effect of the adsorption expansion area, and the closer to the adsorption expansion deformation area, the stronger the squeezing effect, and the more obvious the reduction in permeability of the non-adsorption expansion area. ③ With the increase of the adsorption area of the matrix, the stress disturbance of the adjacent matrix region will be earlier, and the gas permeability will be lower when the compressed matrix region is in equilibrium. …”
