Dust contamination to ventilation systems is a common issue for mine operators during
underground coal mining. In the present study, dust dispersion driven by a hybrid ventilation
system in an underground mine has been investigated via a computational fluid dynamics
(CFD) model. Specifically, the numerical model was developed based on the Euler–
Lagrange method where the trajectory of dispersed dusts was solved individually. Dust
dispersion induced by turbulence was considered by a stochastic tracking model. Effects of …
