1/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articlesTo assess the effectiveness of commonly applied ventilation strategies for improving air distribution and ventilation controls to meet statutory requirements.
-
1/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH researchers studied U.S. underground coal mine explosions over a 30-year period to identify the ignition sources and locations responsible for severe explosions resulting in death, and provided recommendations for safer electrical design.
-
1/1/2020 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article detailing observations of the non-typical bleeder entries of a moderate depth longwall panel, with a primary focus on the extent and magnitude of the abutment loading.
-
1/24/2019 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article examining rear abutment extent and loading, along with how well current modeling procedures calculate those values.
-
1/1/2017 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA paper detailing observations made in four consecutive room and pillar retreat panels and the data collected from an instrumentation site during retreat mining.
-
1/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper discusses air quality concerns and methods to improve the ventilation of large-opening mines whose entries are at least 93m2 (1,000 ft2).
-
1/1/2006 - Peer reviewed journal articlesResults of diesel fuel fire experiments were conducted to determine the critical air velocity for preventing smoke rollback. Experimental results compared well with model predictions based on a computational fluid dynamics fire dynamics simulator.
-
1/1/2005 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis publication details a series of explosive detonation experiments conducted in NIOSH's Bruceton and Lake Lynn Experimental Mines to evaluate low-level (<6 psig) detonation wave propagation behavior in single- and multiple-entry configurations.
