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...

4/1/2005 - Peer reviewed journal articlesDiscusses a study that used a CFD program (fire dynamics simulator) based on large eddy simulations (LES) to model floor-level fires in a ventilated tunnel. The CFD results are compared with two simple theories of critical ventilation.

7/1/1999 - Peer reviewed journal articlesDescribes a NIOSH study of how much ventilation air reaches the end of a 40 foot box cut. Tests were run to determine how much ventilation air reaches the end of the box cut with the continuous miner at three locations in the 40-ft two-pass extended cut...
