Effects of fast-desorbed gas on the propagation characteristics of outburst shock waves and gas flows in underground roadways

Abstract Coal and gas outbursts compromise two-phase gas–solid mixtures as they propagate as shock waves and flows from their sources. Propagation is influenced by the form of the outburst, proximity to source, the structure and form of the transmitting roadways and the influence of obstacles. The following characterizes the propagation of coal and gas outbursts as two-phase gas–solid flows proximal to source where the coupled effects of pulverized coal and gas flows dominate behavior. The characteristics of shock wave propagation and attenuation were systematically examined for varied roadway geometries using experiments and numerical models. The results demonstrate that the geometry of roadway obstructions is significant and may result in partial compression and sometimes secondary overpressurization in blocked and small corner roadways leading to significant attenuation of outburst shock waves. The shock waves attenuate slowly in both straight and abruptly expanding roadways and more significantly in T-shaped roadways. The most significant attenuation appears in small angle corners and bifurcations in roadways with the largest attenuation occurring in blocked roadways. These results provide basic parameters for simplifying transport in complex roadway networks in the far-field, and guidance for the design of coal and gas outburst prevention facilities and emergency rescue.

Although engineering is by nature an applied and interdisciplinary field, courses in engineering can lead even the best students to develop knowledge that is disconnected from other related fields and from conditions of application. This paper describes an innovative undergraduate course that integrated the theory of shock waves, computational modeling, experimental testing, and science of sustainable manufacturing. The course supported better visualization of mechanical and aerospace engineering phenomena, such as shock waves in supersonic gas flows, by utilizing the hydraulic analogy of shallow water and a simple water table. Airfoil design and manufacture were integrated through aerospace and manufacturing theory and application. For the first course offering, student learning was assessed with regard to their views of engineering, learning experience, and transfer of learning. The course proved to increase self-efficacy as engineers, as well as their self-reported confidence in working comfortably on multi-disciplinary teams. Furthermore, scenario-based assessments confirmed that the students were able to integrate aerospace and manufacturing theory and application within new scenarios.

ABSTRACTSedov-Taylor theory is modified to describe plasma shock waves generated in a pulsed laser ablating process. Under the reasonable asymptotic behavior and boundary conditions, the propagating rules in the global free space (including close areas and mid-far areas) of pulsed-laser-induced shock waves are established for the first time. In particular, the temporal behavior of energy causing the difference of the propagation characteristics between the practical plasma shock wave and the ideal shock wave in point explosion model is discussed in detail.
