Gas dynamics equations are used to simulate the interaction of shock waves with water or rock–dust barriers. The model is enhanced with the presence of dispersed water in the flow and its settling on the walls of the working. An approach to the implementation of the method for solving the problem of the propagation of shock waves in a branched network of mine workings, considering the interaction of shock waves with water barriers has been developed. The approach is based on the use of the numerical method of S.K. Godunov. Examples of solving the problem of the propagation of shock waves from a methane explosion in simulated networks of coal mine workings with water barriers placed in them are given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
