To study the law of gas transportation in mining areas, Fluent numerical simulation software was applied to examine the influence of different pseudo-slope lengths (PSL) on gas concentration in a U-ventilated working area under no-extraction conditions. Based on this, numerical simulation experiments were conducted on the buried pipe extraction arrangement parameters. The simulation found that when there was no extraction, the PSL had an impact on the airflow in the extraction area, which caused the airflow in the extraction area to be disordered, causing gas to accumulate locally at the working area. When the buried pipe depths (BPDs) and PSLs of the working area worked together, the gas concentration of the working area was lower when the inlet air influence zone and the extraction influence zone were through; otherwise, gas concentration accumulation occurred at the working area. The research results showed that when the PSL was at 25 m and BPD was at 20 m, the gas concentration at the working area was not abnormal, and the gas concentration in the upper corner was lower. By adjusting the PSL and BPD of the test working area, the maximum gas concentration in the upper corner was reduced to 0.46% and the maximum gas concentration in the return air outlet was reduced to 0.41%. The experimental and practical results provide important reference values for coal and gas co-mining.
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.
