Innovative numerical modelling of technogenic rock arrays structure

Numerical simulation of bulk technogenic rock arrays, unlike the full-scale, has a number of advantages. They are: the large amount of low cost measurements; operative selection of parameters necessary for the environment with the given properties; calculation of stress-strain state and assessment of the array sustainability; calculation of rock arrays filtration properties that are used as filters for mining enterprises sewage, etc. The article describes the method of numerical simulation of structure of bulk disjointed rock arrays, describes the basic initial and boundary conditions of the model; represents the numerical model visualization of the array, created with the use of peripheral dumping (as an array with more textured and visual segregation of granulometric composition adjustment). The basic applications of numerical modeling of technogenic rock arrays in the mining processes are described. Comparative analysis of the real and simulated array structure shows the adequacy of the numerical model and the developed for its creation algorithm, which in turn allows judging the quality of the study. Also, the adequacy of building models is supported by a high convergence of the experimental and calculated figures depending on the filtration rate values of the particle size distribution of technogenic rock arrays.
