Abstract
Methane draft pressure is a secondary disaster for mine ventilation following coal and gas outbursts, which poses a long-term threat to coal mining and workers’ safety. To study the law of methane draft pressure-caused airflow variation, oscillation theory is introduced in this study. The vibration equation is used to deduct the basic equation of airflow oscillation in parallel upward ventilated airways, which regards the entire methane and air as one vibrating object in the loop of the parallel airways. The theoretical critical air velocity to prevent airflow reversion is calculated by the airflow oscillation equation using numerical methods. Furthermore, through dimensional analysis, a formula is given to calculate the critical velocity directly. The theoretical results were compared with experiments and good agreements were obtained, which verifies the rationality of the assumptions in the theoretical deduction process. The conclusion of this study indicates that, in a short time, oscillation theory can be used to predict the critical air velocity to prevent airflow reversion, and be feasible in revealing the essence of methane draft pressure-caused airflow reversion.
