6/1/2006 - Conference papersTwo mine fire experiments conducted in NIOSH Pittsburgh's Safety Research Coal Mine demonstrated that smoke from diesel-fuel fires in a return airway can develop into a roof layer that can migrate upwind, and smoke can penetrate an intake airway.
-
3/1/2006 - Conference papersNIOSH is conducting full-scale tests at its Lake Lynn Experimental Mine to evaluate/improve remote mine seal construction technology, focusing on technology to completely close the mine opening, & reporting results from use of grout-based materials.
-
2/1/2005 - Conference papersDiesel fuel fire experiments were conducted to determine the critical air velocity for preventing smoke rollback. Experimental results compared very well with model predictions based upon a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) fire dynamics simulator.

6/1/2001 - Conference papersA project to evaluate the South African bagged stone dust explosion barrier was successfully completed at the NIOSH Lake Lynn Experimental Mine.
-
6/1/2001 - Conference papersIn the present study, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) program is used as a design tool to model floor-level fires in a ventilated tunnel.
-
10/1/1999 - Conference papersA series of four coal combustion experiments was conducted at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Pittsburgh Research Laboratory in the Safety Research Coal Mine to evaluate the response of optical and ionization smoke and CO sens...
-
6/1/1999 - Conference papersA Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) program was used to model buoyancy induced Product-Of-Combustion (POC) spread from experimental fires in the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Pittsburgh Research Laboratory (PRL), safety...
-
6/1/1999 - Conference papersA report on a series of four coal combustion experiments conducted at the NIOSH (PRL) Safety Research Coal Mine (SRCM) to evaluate the response of fire sensors to a small 0.61 m square smoldering coal fire which transitions to flaming combustion in the ...
