2/1/2018 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article evaluating longwall face ventilation practices at a mine study site.
-
7/1/2015 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA report focused on validating a series of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models using full-scale ventilation gallery data that assessed how curtain setback distance impacted airflow patterns and methane distributions at an empty mining face.
-
10/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study presents the results of core-log analyses from the exploration boreholes, the analyses of face advance rates, and the results of downhole monitoring studies performed in gob gas ventholes.
-
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...

The Effects of Water Spray Placement for Controlling Respirable Dust and Face Methane Concentrations4/1/2006 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA series of laboratory evaluations examined the impact of water spray pressure, curtain setback distance, and external and underboom spray use for controlling respirable dust levels and sulfur hexafluoride tracer gas concentrations around a continuous m...
-
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...

1/1/2004 - Peer reviewed journal articlesReports on a test system and computer program developed for using a three-axis ultrasonic anemometer to measure airflow in a simulated mine entry.
-
1/1/2002 - Peer reviewed journal articlesFull-scale laboratory tests provide information to longwall operators that would assist them in selecting control parameters to reduce dust levels for mine-specific conditions.
-
4/1/1999 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn evaluation of strategies for monitoring methane levels during roof bolting in an extended cut entry.
