Abstract

Based on the engineering example of Linsheng coal mine, this paper uses TF1M3D computer simulation platform to systematically analyze the process of smoke flow spreading and air flow disorder disaster from the perspective of the whole mine network, and puts forward corresponding plans and measures. A small scale similar experiment was carried out to study the updraft flow fire in the mine. Through the analysis of the collected experimental data, the variation law of the air volume of the fire source in the main air path, side branch road and total air path with different air volume and the variation characteristics of the temperature at the monitoring point with time were obtained under different air volume conditions, and the critical air volume was fitted as 1.65 m3·s- 1. The CAD digital stereoscopic model of Linsheng mine was established, and the TF1M3D simulation platform was used to simulate the mine fire under normal ventilation condition. The preset fire source point of the conveyor belt roadway in the first west district of Linsheng coal mine was used to observe the change of air volume during the fire process.The smoke flow reversal phenomenon would occur when the fire occurred in the first west district. The reversed smoke flow will flow to the 503 face and cause contamination. In order to inhibit the reversal of smoke flow, the emergency plan is proposed to increase the number of fan rotation and set fire doors in appropriate places, which can effectively inhibit the diffusion of smoke and improve mine disaster resistance.
