Abstract

Real-time mine ventilation network solution is the core way to realize the actual intelligent ventilation, and ventilation friction resistance coefficient is a significant parameter of network solution. With the help of fractal theory to characterize the three-dimensional roughness characteristics of tunnel surrounding rock. A method to describe the roughness by fractal dimension and fractal intercept. We put the fractal dimension and fractal intercept into Matlab to randomly generate three-dimensional laser scanning data of tunnels. The fusion of the two fractal parameters made the three-dimensional roughness surface information more comprehensive. It has been applied to field practice accurately. Compared to the simulation results show that the relative error of the new prediction results is 3%. Comprehensive evaluation analysis shows that the new friction wind resistance formula can fully reflect the influence of three-dimensional rough surfaces on airflow friction resistance. With the help of three-dimensional laser scanning technology, we can calculate the airflow friction resistance of the tunnel quickly and accurately, which provides a reference for the development of key technology and the theory of intelligent ventilation parameter measurement.
