  This paper summarizes the modeling efforts conducted by NIOSH in the U.S. and CSIRO in Australia to address various gas management issues encountered in longwall mines using the application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and numerical reservoir m...
• Smoke Reversal Interaction with Diagonal Airway - Its Elusive Character
  1/1/2006 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  NIOSH conducted four diesel-fuel fire experiments with specific fire heat-release rates to determine the reversal of smoke products-of-combustion from a mine fire in a mine section with the airway connectivity of an electrical Wheatstone bridge.
• Scaled Cloud Model for Released Toxic Fumes
  1/1/2001 - Conference papers
  Recognizing the dynamic nature and possible range of toxic concentrations in the impending fume cloud prior to undertaking explosive blasting can reduce potential hazards and mitigate related incidents. The scaled cloud model was formulated to predict t...
