3/1/2014 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA report detailing the results of two controlled recirculation tests over three days at a Wyoming trona mine, utilizing an inline booster fan to improve airflow to a remote and difficult-to-ventilate development section.
-
1/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articlesIn this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling was conducted to optimize gas sampling locations for the early detection of spontaneous heating in longwall gob areas.
-
9/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper presents technical and application aspects of a new software suite, MCP (Methane Control and Prediction), developed for addressing some of the methane and methane control issues in longwall coal mines.
-
3/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis work presents a fractal porous medium model to predict gob porosity and permeability for controlling methane flow and to predict air leakage into the gob.
-
1/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper discusses some ways to find extra usable air when there is no extra ventilation capacity.
-
1/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper discusses air quality concerns and methods to improve the ventilation of large-opening mines whose entries are at least 93m2 (1,000 ft2).
-
9/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study presents a reservoir modeling approach to investigate the relative effects of different coalbed parameters on the migration of methane into development entries, and shows that this technique can be applicable to different coalbeds.
-
10/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesTo transfer CFD expertise to analyze and design a face-ventilation system, a comprehensive validation study of current CFD tools against mining-related benchmark experiments is required. This study was dedicated to the methane behavior in an empty (cont...
-
8/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis article focuses on U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) and NIOSH research to examine factors that had a significant influence on mine face ventilation design during the past century.
-
1/1/2006 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA test system was developed at NIOSH's ventilation test gallery to measure airflow using a three-axis ultrasonic anemometer. The gallery was used to simulate face airflow conditions in underground mines having a blowing curtain. Airflow data were used t...
