ABSTRACT
Sun, P., 1991. Study of dynamic models for coal gas dynamics (part 2). Min. Sci. Technol., 12: 311-316.
Coal gas dynamics is a fundamental theory for controlling gas in coal mines and preventing catastrophe. Starting from
Darcy's law and the equation of continuity, a number of fundamental problems of coal gas dynamics are analysed using the
theory of dimensional analysis and the current models for gas flow fields in coal seams are corrected. The mathematical
solutions for three kinds of models of gas flow fields are studied and developed and the rationality of the new linear dynamic
models is proven.
/1--atmospheric pressure at coal work face requirements for controlling and preventing
or gas pressure in a borehole of a coal seam, gas-induced catastrophes. There are two
Pa; methods for solving the models. One is
L = horizontal influence of the depth of the numerical solution using a computer; the
parallel gas flow field, m. other is mathematical solution of the finite
solution models.
