Abstract:
The gas pressure generated during a coal and gas outburst is an important factor affecting the stability of mine ventilation systems. The gas released from an outburst flows and diffuses in the mine, leading to an uneven distribution of the air in the mine ventilation system and the formation of natural wind pressure. Because of the effect of the gas pressure, the mine ventilation system becomes disordered, leading to a counter flow in the roadway. This increases the complexity of the gas movement, extends the influence range of the gas, enlarges the disaster area in the mine, and exacerbates the destructiveness. In this study, the TF1M simulation program was applied to simulate a coal and gas outburst accident that occurred in the 1747 heading roadway of the Sizhuang Coal Mine, in a bid to reproduce the entire process of the diffusion flow of the counter current and outburst gas in the mine roadway. Moreover, the dynamic influence of the gas pressure on the entire ventilation network was analyzed. An experimental device was set up to test the relationship between the natural wind pressure and the height difference of the roadway and density of the gas flow, and the formation and mechanism of the natural wind pressure were explored. By analyzing the experimental and numerical results, the variation law of the air flow and the law of gas movement under the influence of gas pressure were summarized. The movement law and influencing factors of the gas during the mine outburst period were studied, the influence range of the gas was determined, the distribution law of the gas concentration after the outburst was obtained, and further expansion of the gas was prevented. This study has theoretical and practical significance in enhancing our understanding of the development process of mine gas disasters, which can help establish effective emergency response strategies and reasonably implement postdisaster relief measures.
