Considering the coal and gas outburst phenomenon in the mining space, this paper analyzes the main characteristics of coal and gas outburst accidents, defines the outburst airflow reversal degree, and constructs a simplified topology graph of tunneling ventilation system, while the air door is not destroyed. Using the numerical simulation method, this paper elaborates on the relationship between the outburst pressure and airflow reversal degree. The results indicate that the inlet pressure increases to 264 hPa and the outlet pressure increases to 289 hPa when the outburst pressure increases from 1 hPa to 1 MPa, and the relative variation coefficient of pressure decreases from 1501.5 to 1.62 in the inlet of return airway and decreases from 2002 to 1.65 in the outlet of return airway. Furthermore, the air velocity decreases from −1.38 to −284.44 m/s in the inlet and increases from 3.10 to 297.38 m/s in the outlet. Moreover, the gas concentration of the inlet and outlet in return airway increases rapidly with the increase of outburst pressure. When the outburst pressure is greater than 0.15 MPa, the gas concentration will be over 98% in tunneling ventilation system. This paper also finds out a cubic polynomial relationship existing between the reversal degree and the outburst pressure. It provides the prediction of coal and gas outburst and serves as a guidance in case mine ventilation disturbances occur.

Determining the influence scope of the airflow disorder is an important problem after coal and gas outburst accidents in ventilation systems. This paper puts forward the indexes of airflow disorder, including the length of the excavation roadway, the outburst pressure, the pressure difference of the air door, and the air quantity of the auxiliary fan. Using the orthogonal table of L9 (34) and numerical simulation method, the characteristics of airflow reversal are studied, and the outburst airflow reversal degree is calculated should the ventilation facility fail. Furthermore, on the basis of fuzzy comprehensive optimization theory, the comprehensive evaluation model of the airflow disorder is established. The results show that the length of the excavation roadway is the most important factor affecting the stability of the ventilation system, followed by the outburst pressure, pressure difference of the air door, and air quantity of the auxiliary fan. The influence of a gas outburst accident on the return air system is greater than that on the inlet air system, and a larger air velocity has a greater impact on the ventilation system, especially the air inlet part. Moreover, the airflow reversal degree of the ventilation system increases with the increase of the outburst pressure or decreases with the length of the excavation roadway. This paper provides a basis for the prevention of gas outburst accidents.

Gas emission happens after coal and gas outburst, and it could cause secondary disasters in the roadway. Therefore it is necessary to research gas concentration distribution law in the roadway after coal and gas outburst, and theoretical basis for avoiding the occurrence of secondary disasters could be provided. Based on the above, Fluent is used to simulate gas concentration distribution law in the roadway during outburst. The research results show that gas velocity of the initial stage is larger in the whole process of gas outburst and gas emission impacts opposite walls in the form of jet in the roadway intersection. The flow changes direction and moves along the main airway and return airway. It produces countercurrent along the main airway. Because the pressure in the main airway is high, gas migration velocity becomes zero after a certain distance and is "back" to return airway. The higher the outburst velocity is, the longer the flow length is. Gas concentration variation with two kinds of different outburst intensities and position are regressed and it shows that correlation coefficients of power function are the highest. The research results have a certain theoretical value to prevent the occurrence of secondary disasters after coal and gas outburst.

AbstractIn this paper, the authors focused on the assessment of the individual methods to prevent coal and gas outbursts. The first part deals with a characteristic of this anomalous phenomenon and some basic methods of coal and gas outburst prevention. The second part presents the economic assessment of the costs necessary to ensure the possible prevention methods in the coalface 080 211 in the locality of the Paskov Mine, Mining Plant 3, OKD as, Czech Republic. In this coalface, a simulation method was used for calculating costs for the drift length of 100 m for the use of various prevention methods (irrigation, relief boreholes, relief blasting). The results show the cost of preventive measures during mining intended to eliminate and protect against the formation of coal and gas outbursts. The measures are compared applying the principle of the decision analysis. Four criteria are used for the mutual comparison of the methods (costs, effort, efficiency, time consumption). The comparison has shown that the optimal method to prevent coal and gas outbursts is irrigation.

Abstract Protective seam mining is one kind of most effective measure to reduce coal and gas outburst risk. The pressure relief angles along inclination (δm) are key parameters for evaluating the effect of protective seam mining. However, the numerical relation between δm and coal seam dip (a) is defined by discrete data and is difficult to determine δm accurately. In this study, the variations of δm with respect to seam dips are analyzed to derive analytical equations that can be used to accurately calculate δm. The relationship between δm and seam dip (a) can be expressed as parabolic or inverted parabolic curves. Mathematical equations for δm are derived by curve fitting technique. Furthermore, polynomial equations are determined as the most appropriate for δm calculation when the polynomial order is selected as 7, 6, 4 and 5 respectively. These derived equations are computationally solved and verified using actual and field test data of δm. with satisfactory consistency and accuracy. The equations are suggested as supplement and improvement for Detailed Rules on Prevention of Coal and Gas Outburst.

In longitudinal ventilation, circulating air is formed in portals for closely spaced twin tunnels, which causes mixing between the polluted air exhausted from one tunnel and the fresh air flow of another tunnel, thus leading to the rising costs of ventilation system construction and operation. In this study, for the closely spaced tunnel with staggered inlet and outlet, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical simulation method was adopted to reveal flow characteristics of the circulating air as well as variation rules of the circulating air mixing ratio φc with tunnel structure and operation parameters. Results show that both reducing inlet air velocity and increasing outlet air velocity and lateral distance can reduce the impact of the negative-pressure zone at the tunnel entrance on the jet flow structure at the tunnel exit, thus weakening the circulating air. When the inlet is placed behind or aligned with the outlet (staggered distance ∆l ≤ 0), φc will increase linearly along with the increase of staggered distance; when the inlet is placed before the outlet (∆l > 0), φc will first increase and then decrease with the increase of staggered distance. An expression to predict circulating air mixing ratio was created by sections. The predictions show a good correlation with the measurements and indicate that the front slope gradient of the tunnel portal is also one of the factors affecting the circulating air mixing ratio.

In order to deeply explore the destructive effect of the impulsive airflow on the mine antioutburst door when coal and gas outbursts occur in underground coal mines, a large-scale coal and gas outburst dynamic effect simulation experiment device is used to carry out the coal and gas outburst disaster simulation experiment. The impact load and deformation characteristics of the antioutburst door under the impact airflow during coal and gas outburst are analyzed, and the experimental results are discussed in depth through numerical simulation analysis and field example analysis. Based on this, the internal and external causes of the damage of the antioutburst door on the coal mine site are analyzed, the key technologies that need to be solved in the design of the antioutburst door’s disaster resistance are studied, and the overall design of the structure optimization design of the antioutburst door is proposed. The research results show that after coal and gas outburst, the pressure on the antioutburst door will rise and fall, and the fluctuation will be greater. Under the same installation position, the farther the antioutburst door is from the protruding point, the less pressure it bears. In the middle and late stages of the outburst, intermittent negative pressure of the gas at the antioutburst door appeared. The key technologies for the design of the antioutburst door and its disaster resistance mainly include that strengthen theoretical and experimental research on the formation mechanism of outburst shock waves in mines, the interaction mechanism between disaster shock loads and dampers, and the magnitude of disaster expected shock loads; optimize the structure of the antioutburst door size, the width of the contact surface between the air door and the door wall, the stress distribution of the air door under impact load, the design of the safety hole, and the locking device; and improve the disaster monitoring and alarm capabilities of the antioutburst door and collect changes in antioutburst door pressure in real time. The research results provide a theoretical basis and technical support for the optimization of the antishock performance of underground antioutburst doors in coal mines and have important practical significance for improving the disaster resistance of the ventilation system.

Outburst cavity formed during coal and gas outburst can be pear shaped, elliptical, or just like an irregularly elongated ellipsoid, its capacity is always smaller than the volume of ejected coal. And the gas emission quantity is almost 4 to 10 times as gas content in ejected coal. These are two different expressions of the same problem. To find the reasons for the decrease of outburst cavity volume and the increase of gas emission quantity per ton, by using the finite element code ANSYS, the damage zone and the failure zone of the outburst cavity were determined based on the static and dynamic combination method. In this paper, the reason for the decrease of the outburst volume was explained.
