Utilisation of Acoustics for Monitoring Local and Near-Field Mine Burial Processes: Proof-of-Concept
نویسنده
چکیده
The objectives of POL’s research for 2002 has been to; (i) Provide continued guidance design criteria to OMNI Technologies for the development of acoustic suspended sediment and flow measuring instrumentation, which is to be mounted on the surface of a mine. (ii) The calibration of one of the systems developed by OMNI in the sediment tower at POL. (iii) The assessment of scattering models for sediments in suspension through a series of measurements.

Mine Burial Induced by Local Scour and Sandwaves
The main objective of this effort has been the direct observation and monitoring of the burial process of finite-length cylinders (model mines) induced by the combined action of waves, currents and pure oscillatory flows. The experimental conditions have made it possible to observe the burial process due to both local scour around the mines as well as the passage of large sandwaves. These rathe...
متن کاملAnalysis of a possible root cause and mechanism for Soma mine disaster
A daunting mine disaster took place in 13 May 2014 at Soma and 301 men lost their lives. Brief information about the Eynez coal mine and some of the inherent characteristics of the field in terms of their effects on mining are presented. This paper basically concentrates on the factors that played an important role in the occurrence of this disaster. Progress of mine fire, firefighting, and res...
متن کاملMine Impact Burial Prediction From One to Three Dimensions
The Navy’s mine impact burial prediction model creates a time history of a cylindrical or a noncylindrical mine as it falls through air, water, and sediment. The output of the model is the predicted mine trajectory in air and water columns, burial depth/orientation in sediment, as well as height, area, and volume protruding. Model inputs consist of parameters of environment, mine characteristic...
متن کاملVortex Lattice Model for Mine Scour and Burial
1) Identify leading order processes; 2) formulate the model and write the computer code; 3) initialize and calibrate the model using archival data; 4) validate the model in a contemporary field experiment with modern mines of various shapes; 5) conduct numerical experiments with the model to determine the relative strength of various scour and burial mechanisms, and the sensitivity of those mec...
متن کاملAnoxia stimulates microbially catalyzed metal release from Animas River sediments.
The Gold King Mine spill in August 2015 released 11 million liters of metal-rich mine waste to the Animas River watershed, an area that has been previously exposed to historical mining activity spanning more than a century. Although adsorption onto fluvial sediments was responsible for rapid immobilization of a significant fraction of the spill-associated metals, patterns of longer-term mobilit...
