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 …

In this paper, the application status of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling in mine
ventilation is presented by reviewing papers published since the year 2000. The aspects …

To investigate the effects of the air volume ratio parameters (axial-to-radial flow ratio of the
wall-attached air cylinder “δ” and the forced-to-exhaust ratio of the ventilation system “β”) on …

This study addresses gas control in a typical “room-and-pillar” structure in an underground
coal mine via mathematical model utilizing commercial computational fluid dynamic …

The largest mining height of the fully mechanized mining face in the world is currently 8.8 m.
A working face of this size has various problems, including the production of large amounts …

In order to gain a more in-depth knowledge of the diffusion and pollution rules of dust from
multiple sources in a fully-mechanized mining face with a mining height of 7 m, and design …

Diesel particulate matter (DPM) is a carcinogen to humans. Underground miners have the
potential to expose to higher DPM concentrations since the working environment is …

In order to obtain the reasonable structural parameters and installation position of the wall-
mounted air cylinder attached to the fully mechanized excavation face in coal mines, a …

In order to investigate the influences of turbulent airflow disturbance from coal cutting on
pollution characteristics of coal dust, the airflow migration and the coal dust dispersion was …

This paper numerically examines the ventilation performance of the working coal face
section of an underground mine exposed to methane gas under the influence of an auxiliary …
