Abstract：
Water inrush in tunnels with karst conduits is a complex nonlinear seepage problem with multi-field cou? pling and may cause sudden disasters. In order to reveal the occurrence mechanism of water inrush in tunnels with karst conduits, this paper conducts a multi-field coupling analysis under the conditions of different water pressures in karst caves, different filling media in karst conduits and different karst conduit widths and lengths on the basis of the coupling mechanism of multiple physical fields, and draws the following conclusions: (1) water inrush disasters under the failure mode of karst conduits in tunnels are different depending on the difference in the permeabilities of the filling media; (2) the speed of the fluid flowing out of water-rich karst caves is low, but increases gradually after it flows through the karst conduits, and peaks when it enters the tunnel; (3) main factors affecting the water inrush process include: water pressure in water-rich karst cave, type of filling medium in karst conduit or fault fracture zone, width of karst conduit, and distance between tunnel and water source, of which the width of karst conduit and type of filling medium in karst conduit have a greater influence on water inrush than the other factors.
