9/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study presents a reservoir modeling approach to investigate the relative effects of different coalbed parameters on the migration of methane into development entries, and shows that this technique can be applicable to different coalbeds.
-
6/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper compares the transverse load capabilities of several block materials and wall dimensions commonly used in stopping constructions based upon simulated three-hinge, rigid-arch loading tests of half-wall constructions.
-
6/1/2008 - Conference papersThis 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...

6/1/2008 - Conference papersIn this investigative study NIOSH measured for sub-micrometer elemental carbon (EC) using two types of control technologies (ventilation and cabs) which are being implemented in limestone mines.
-
6/1/2008 - Conference papersThis study proposes a principle component analysis (PCA) and artificial neural network (ANN) approach to predict the ventilation methane emission rates of U.S. longwall mines and the optimum combination of degasification boreholes based on the given cha...
-
2/1/2008 - Conference papersThis NIOSH study presents an approach for prediction of methane inflow rates using coalbed methane reservoir modeling which can be used to limit the methane concentrations occurring as a result of the influences of various coalbed and operational parame...
-
2/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper describes NIOSH research demonstrating that the ventilation of large-opening mines improves significantly by including ventilation requirements in the mine planning process and implementing some practical techniques during mining.
-
1/1/2008 - Reports of InvestigationsThis report discusses the testing and full-scale evaluations of a recently developed carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) reinforcement technique for upgrading existing mine ventilation seals to withstand an explosion pressure of 50 psi or greater whi...
-
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...
-
8/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis article focuses on U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) and NIOSH research to examine factors that had a significant influence on mine face ventilation design during the past century.
