The book 'Progress in Rock Mechanics and Seepage Research' aims to comprehensively and systematically introduce the latest research achievements and progress in the field of rock mechanics and seepage. The book is divided into five chapters, covering the basic theory of rock mechanics, seepage theory and its application in rocks, numerical analysis methods of rock mechanics and seepage, application of oil and gas seepage in rock engineering, and prospects for rock mechanics and seepage research. In the first chapter, the basic concepts of rock mechanics and the physical and mechanical properties of rocks were introduced, and the strength theory and failure criteria of rocks were discussed, as well as the methods of rock stress field and deformation analysis. These contents form the foundation of rock mechanics research and provide theoretical support for further exploration in subsequent chapters. The second chapter focuses on the theory of seepage and its application in rocks. This paper introduces the basic concepts of seepage and dynamic stability theory, analyzes the characteristics of rock seepage and permeability coefficient, and explores the interaction mechanism between seepage field and stress field. These contents help readers to gain a deeper understanding of the flow patterns of groundwater in rocks and their interrelationships with rock mechanics behavior. Chapter 3 introduces numerical analysis methods for rock mechanics and seepage, including discrete element particle flow method, application of finite element method in geostress, and fluid structure coupling numerical analysis method. The application of these numerical methods provides powerful tools for solving rock mechanics and seepage problems, helping to reveal the rock mechanics behavior and groundwater flow laws under complex geological conditions. The fourth chapter focuses on the application of oil and gas seepage in rock engineering. Analyzed the current status of oil and gas reservoir permeability theory and development technology, explored the application prospects of numerical fluid mechanics in the field of oil and gas permeability, and studied hot issues such as pore structure characterization and permeability laws of terrestrial shale oil reservoirs. These contents are of great significance for guiding the development of oil and gas fields and improving oil and gas recovery rates. In the final chapter, future research directions in the fields of rock mechanics and seepage were discussed. This article introduces the latest progress in intelligent prediction technology for geomechanical parameters, explores the application prospects of machine learning in seepage prediction, and discusses possible new theories, methods, and technologies that may emerge in the future. These contents aim to stimulate readers' thinking and exploration of the future development of rock mechanics and seepage fields.
