description In recent years, geological disasters such as water inrush during drilling and blasting operations have posed significant challenges in tunnel engineering. This paper presents a novel continuous-discrete coupling method based on LS-DYNA, combining the finite element method (FEM) and smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), to simulate the water inrush phenomenon in blasting engineering. The proposed FEM-SPH model effectively captures the propagation of explosion shock waves, simulates small deformation areas with solid grids, and models water behavior using SPH. This study systematically investigates the dynamic evolution of water inrush, divided into three distinct phases: the rupture of the water-resistant rock layer, the emergence of fluid-conducting channels, and the onset of large-scale water influx. Results indicate that under blasting load, the stress of the surrounding rock increases sharply, leading to instantaneous water inrush. The FEM-SPH model demonstrates superior performance in simulating the complex interactions between blasting stress waves, water pressure, and rock mass damage. This research provides new insights and methods for water control in tunnel engineering and offers significant potential for preventing water inrush disasters in underground construction.
