0 Introduction

Experimental results［1-5］showed that freezing of rocks depends on the porosity and their water saturation.The most destructive effect occurs when freezing the samples in an aqueous medium，i.e.with full water saturation pores［3］.

Rock can be represented as a model microporous medium with a given number density distribution of pore radius-r［6］.When watersaturated environment resulting from the phase transition is an increase in the initial volume of water in the pore by an amount proportional to the bulk phase expansion coefficient αf.

Kinetic equation for the density of the pore size distribution depending on the number of cycles of freezing-thawing(t)can be represented in the form

where f—the number density distribution of pore radius－r.

Here the second term denotes the change of f due to increase of pore radius in one cycle of freezing.Thus the growth rate of the radius of the pores in one cycle is defined as:

1 Materials and methods

And the second term of equation(1)can be interpreted as the convective motion of the distribution function of pores in the size space radii［7］.The third term of the equation determines the growth of the real density distribution function of pore in radius of the irreversible plastic deformation area，on the principle of inheritance of traits i.e.it is proportional to distribution function－k(r)f(r，t).The coefficient k(r) can determine the preferential growth of the number of pores of a certain size(radius)of this mechanism.Term of the equation on the right side of the equation is the sum of sources and sinks for the density distribution of the pores radius－r as a result of the coalescence pair process.

As the most likely，we will consider the interaction of closely spaced pores，and we will explore two options of“reactions”determing the“source of pores－i?and”sink of pores－i?for this size class－ri.Here we take into account the conservation of the total pore volume，as a result of coalescence“reactions”，a total pore volume should be maintained.Therefore，as a result of“reaction”of pore coalescence with radius riand rj，we have to keep the volume:

hence:

I.e.as a result of interaction(coalescence)(n) of pores riand(n)pores rjan equal pore number(n) sorts riand rjdissapears，but appears(n)pores with radius rk.This reaction will characterize an escape of pores from size class with a radius ri.

The situation is somewhat different when building a source far ri，in this case as a result of interaction (coalescence)of pores rland rj.There should appear pores ri.This condition imposes certain restrictions on the radius of interacting pores.Therefore we have for the volume:

where we find the expression for the pore radius rl，which，while interacting(coalescence)with pore rjwill gave us pore ri.

In accordance with the expressions given above，as the result of the coalescence reaction(n)，and then rj(n)is formed then rl(n)then ri.The rest of the expression does not change.Condition of pore coalescence rMand rLis a complex event consisting of several steps-firstly，from finding their centers at a distance apart rM+rL.Probability of this event is defined as the probability to find the nearest neighbor at a given distance［8］.

where N=f(rM，t)dr+f(rL，t)de the total number of pores with sizes rM，and rL.

The second stage of this process is，that the pores rMand rLmake contact.The probability of this event is equal to the product of pore concentrating rMrLin this volume.Put the case in the following way;

Here

is a total number of pores in a given volume.

In conclusion，we introduce the matrix W of transition probability－Wijk，which mean that as a result of contact interaction(reaction)of pore with a radius riand pore with a radius rjthe pore with a radius rkis formed.For coalescence reactions of the type(2)and considering the partial disappearance of the two reactants of probabilities of these complex events have following form

For coalescence reactions of the type(4)also considering the partial disappearance of the two reactants of probabilities of these complex events have the form of

The final expression for the transformation of density of radial pore destribution for converting processes to keep the volume will be

where s is normalizing factor.Then the formula of the kinetic equation for k－a function component of numerical distribution density of pores on the radius in the material exposed to sign-variable temperatures(cycles of freezing-thawing)will be:

For further calculations we make the following simplifying assumptions:

any initial pore size distribution can be represented by superposition normal to their mean value rcpand variance rd，

in some simple cases with an uniform distribution.Numerical volume density of pore size distribution per unit of volume must satisfy the initial time t=0 to the condition of normalization

where m0—is the initial porosity of the material.

Fig.1-2 presents the results of calculations of conversion of pore assembly while interaction of sign-variable temperature neglecting the second and the third terms in the left-hand side of equation(1)(Vk=0;k (rk)=0).

In Fig.3-4 shows the results of modeling of alternating influence on monoporous medium.Monoporous medium was modeled by sufficiently narrow uniform distribution－Fig.3.Also the monitoring of conservation of total porosity as a result of conversion processes was carried out(Fig.4).A characteristic feature of transformations monoporous assembly of pores is the splitting of initial allocation on number of separates in accordance with reaction(2).

2 Discussion and conclusions

The represented results adequately reflect the processes of growth and transformation of the pore assembly under sign-variable temperature influences.Modeling conversion of initially homogeneous monoporous density of distribution of pore on sizes after exposure of sign-variable temperature cycles meets the conditions of conservation of volume and not physically inconsistent.Increase of the large pores content under sign-variable temperature influences is confirmed by the results of experimental studies［9］.
