This paper provides a review of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applications in mining
engineering, with particular focus on mine ventilation-related flow problems. The basic …

Two-dimensional incompressible flow around a NACA 63–415 airfoil, which is encountered
in engineering applications as a typical wind-turbine-blade profile, is investigated …

To study the operating performance of fans at high altitudes, a pressure-variable ventilation
device able to vary the gas phase environment of fans and pipeline was designed. The fan …

Increasing the profitability of the mining industry is contingent on its ability to improve
operational efficiency. Mine ventilation networks typically represent 25-50% of a mine's …

Wind energy has been seen as one of the most suitable sources of renewable energy. Wind
energy is low cost when compared the other sources. Therefore, wind energy can gain an …

Ventilation is critical in underground coal mining (UCM) for safety and productivity.
Challenges include mitigating hazardous gases, preventing coal dust accumulation, and …

Wind turbines installed in cold-climate regions are prone to the risks of ice accumulation
which affects their aeroelastic behavior. The studies carried out on this topic so far …

Energy efficiency in mine ventilation, which is responsible for a substantial amount of total
energy consumption, is of paramount concern in underground mining. Achieving energy …

The improvement in efficiency of axial flow fans is major concern in turbomachinery
industries including outdoor units of air conditioners. The end wall region is responsible for …

Comparative strength analysis of two popular options of the radial centrifugal fan impeller
design used in horizontal conveyor dryer for fine-grained raw materials is presented. Three …
