Taking the 14,030 panel of Zhaogu No. 2 coal mine as its research object, this paper studies the evolution characteristics of the developing height, propagation track and caving arch shape of water-flowing fractures under the influence of thick alluvium by utilizing a physical experiment, theoretical analysis and field investigation. The results show that the height and limit span of the water-flowing fracture zone experience four stages, which include the initial stage, slow-increasing stage, sudden-increasing stage and stable-increasing stage. With the increase in the mining influence range, the shape of the water-flowing fracture in overburden under the influence of thick alluvium is gradually formed. The water in the thick alluvium and the water in the upper phreatic aquifer of the bedrock penetrate each other to form a concentrated danger zone, and the expansion track of the mining water-flowing fracture connects the hydraulic connection between the upper concentrated danger zone of overburden and the panel of No. 2&rsquo:s first coal seam. A large amount of water mixed with sandstone flows into the fracture surface of the bedrock&rsquo:s broken rock block through the water-flowing fracture, leading to the instability of the load-bearing structure composed of the thick alluvium caving arch and the towering roof beam, which illustrates the whole process of water&ndash:sand inrush accidents in thin bedrock stope with deep thick alluvium.
