Computer simulations in the ventilation network of the Vulcan Mine

Maintaining safety and health conditions underground, especially where potentially explosive atmospheres are possible, depends mainly on how the ventilation system is built, applied operated in network. The networks of a mining unit for exploitation useful mineral substance works that aim to ensure optimal microclimate underground. An network built nodes branches, order establish its structure. In air flows at branch level, specialized programs used, with help which modeling, solving optimization can be performed. Optimizing management involves in-depth complex analyzes require huge volume data processed only computing technology. paper presents an analysis Vulcan mine using calculation technique simulate situations may occur system.
