A bentonite slurry mixed with seawater is prone to sedimentation, which will reduce the quality of the filter cake and lower the stability of the excavation surface in undersea tunnels. It is necessary to study the performance and influencing factors of the bentonite slurry mixed with seawater. This article simulates the process of undersea slurry shield tunnel construction, where the pressurized slurry penetrates into the sand layer and forms a filter cake when the shield stops pressurizing. We investigated the effects of bentonite, additives (CMC), fine sand, pressure, and formation permeability on the performance of the seawater slurry and filter cake. The sedimentation of mud caused by seawater interfered with the experiment, which manifested as the increase in bentonite, and delayed the formation of the filter cake. Fine sand with a particle size close to the average value of the formation can improve the speed and quality of filter cake formation. By conducting a sensitivity analysis on experimental data, the degree of influence of various factors on the formation rate, thickness, and porosity of the filter cake was determined. Fine sand and bentonite are the factors that have the greatest impact on the formation rate, thickness, and porosity of the filter cake.
