description To effectively solve the problem of high dust concentration during coal cutting and frame shifting in fully mechanized mining faces, based on the theory of gas–solid two-phase flow, a geometric model of a fully mechanized mining face was established by using COMSOL numerical simulation software. Simulations were performed for the movement characteristics of wind flow and the law of dust diffusion. Results show that the air flow at the junction of the working face, the air inlet, the hydraulic support moving area, and the vicinity of the shearer has accelerated movement, and the maximum wind speed zone of about 3 m/s can be formed. Under the influence of wind flow, dust particles above 35 μm settle faster, while dust particles below 35 μm are very vulnerable to the influence of wind flow, and the settling speed is slower. Using a custom experimental platform, the atomization characteristics and wind resistance of a pressure fan nozzle, a supersonic nozzle, and an ultrasonic nozzle were tested, and the nozzle that was suitable for the scheme was selected and applied in the field. Comparing the dust concentration before and after the application of the dust removal scheme at the sampling point, results show that the dust removal efficiency of the proposed scheme exceeds 85%, and the treatment effect is good.
