Abstract
Abstract The methane near a tunnelling face seriously affects production safety in coal mines. A model considering methane seepage, adsorption, desorption and coal damage processes was established in this research. The open field operation and manipulation (OpenFOAM) solver was compiled to numerically solve the established model. The model is validated against data published in a previous theoretical study. The solver was used to investigate the effect of different parameters on methane emission regularity. This solver demonstrates that the effects of the original stress, coal cohesion and coal internal friction angle on the methane emission rate are limited, but their effects on the width of the fractured zone and effective stress are great. The effects of the initial methane pressure and coal adsorption parameters on the methane emission rate are also notable, but their effects on the width of the fractured zone and effective stress are limited.
