摘要

Accurate estimation of coalbed methane content is constrained by anomalous diffusion characteristics induced by complex pore networks, while classical Fick's models fail to describe this process. Therefore, the space–time fractional-order derivative was introduced in this study based on the classical Fick diffusion model. The fractal dimension was introduced into the model, and a gas fractal-based sub-diffusion model was constructed. To enhance the model’s engineering applicability, the study derived an approximate analytical solution based on the \(\sqrt{\text{t}}\) t model by focusing on the mechanism that induced anomalous mean square displacement of methane molecules (Qt/Q < 0.5). By comparing the fitting data of four models against desorption data, it was found that the fitting effect of the gas fractal-based sub-diffusion model was good (R2 > 0.97), and there was no infinite series, which greatly enhanced the practicability of the model. Moreover, gas diffusion in such anomalous space–time exhibited sub-diffusive behavior, with a rapidly decaying diffusion coefficient and heavy-tailed desorption curves. Coal samples with different degrees of metamorphism exhibited exponential and power-law decay. The study also found that the time fractional derivative (ξ) effectively captures the heavy-tail phenomenon. When ξ → 0, the tailing effect in gas diffusion becomes more pronounced. When ξ equals 1, the diffusion process can be idealized as classical Fick diffusion.
