Abstract

According to the difference in aquifer penetrability of groundwater system in Baiquan region, this article has established a 2D regional numerical model and a 3D numerical model of Beiminghe iron mine inside Baiquan region, where the aquifer penetrability is low. In order to couple the models, the boundary between the two is treated as the inner boundary of 2D model and the outer boundary of 3D model. It resolves the estimation problem of mine water gushing in the groundwater system with varied aquifer penetrability. The estimated result is tested to be reasonable and realistic.
