11/1/2009 - Conference papersThis paper presents a summary of some of the mine fire research and provides an overview of the next phase of the NIOSH mine fire research program.
-
6/1/2008 - Conference papersThe results of field tests to understand how ventilation and gob characteristics affect the spontaneous heating process causing spontaneous combustion fires in longwall or worked-out gob areas are presented.
-
6/1/2010 - Conference papersThis study's goal was to validate the use of Ventgraph in a deep M/NM mine fire and illustrate its use as a valuable tool in mine ventilation, fire, and evacuation planning.

11/1/2009 - Conference papersIn this paper, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling results for both bleeder and bleederless ventilation systems are presented and the difference between two systems is discussed.
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papersThis paper focuses on the flow patterns within the gob under three different ventilation systems: one-entry and two-entry bleederless systems, as well as a three-entry bleeder system.
-
6/1/2005 - Conference papersThe focus of this paper is the use of a GAG 3A jet engine system to either combat large out-of-control fires or render an entire mine inert when access to problem areas is difficult or impossible.
