3.4 Three-Dimensional Visualization and Simulation Technology of Shield Tunneling in Shallow Overburden

With the development of supercomputer technology and the maturity of numerical simulation technology,more and more computer aided technologies are applied to the field of engineering,which provides strong technical support for the preliminary design and demonstration of the project.Through numerical simulation,the essential understanding of various problems in engineering field is deepened,and a very powerful tool is provided for solving problems and further revealing the laws of problems.At present,the maturity of parallel algorithm theory and the wide application of supercomputer make it possible to use numerical simulation method to solve complex problems in large-scale engineering field.Taking Nanjing Yangtze River Tunnel as an example,based on the advanced high-rise technical resources of Shanghai Super calculation Center in China,this section solves the key technical problems for the construction of shallow overburden section of Nanjing Tunnel Project by using advanced means,and provides an example for the construction of super large diameter shield in the future.
