TL;DR

This study investigates how water content affects gas permeability in coal, revealing that permeability varies with porosity and moisture, exhibiting exponential and logarithmic relationships and directional polarization effects.

Contribution

The paper introduces an improved permeability measurement method and analyzes the influence of moisture content on permeability, highlighting the polarization effect in gas drainage.

Findings

Permeability relates to porosity via exponential and logarithmic trends.

Porosity-permeability plane divided into three influence regions.

Moisture content significantly impacts permeability and its directional characteristics.

Abstract

In order to study the penetration characteristics in areas with different water content and different stress distributions in the radial direction of the hole after hydraulicization measures, an improved LFTD1812 triaxial permeability meter was used to conduct a test to measure the polar permeability characteristics of coal with different water content combinations were measured by permeability instrument, and the porosity, permeability, pressure gradient and seepage velocity of different samples were analyzed. The relationship between sample porosity, permeability, pressure gradient and seepage velocity was discussed, the influence of moisture content on permeability was discussed, and the directionality and the directivity and polarization effect of permeability were found.. Result shows that The relationship between permeability and porosity shows two trends of exponential type and logarithmic type, and the porosity-permeability({\phi}-k) plane is divided into three influence regions: super index (I), index (II) and logarithm (III).
