Numerical modelling of gas outburst from coal: a review from control parameters to the initiation process
Abstract Among all methods for investigating the complex phenomenon of the coal and gas outburst, numerical modelling is the most comprehensive one that can consider all involved parameters and simulate the complex multi-physical phenomenon. The main aim of this paper is to review recent numerical m...

| description | Abstract Among all methods for investigating the complex phenomenon of the coal and gas outburst, numerical modelling is the most comprehensive one that can consider all involved parameters and simulate the complex multi-physical phenomenon. The main aim of this paper is to review recent numerical modelling studies concerning this disastrous phenomenon observed in coal mining. The paper aims to analyse these studies comprehensively and identify any existing research gaps that could be addressed in future research endeavours. To this end, the concepts and equations that have been used in previous studies to simulate the solid and fluid behaviour during outburst initiation and how these equations are coupled to consider multiphysical interactions were reviewed. Both strengths and deficiencies in past outburst modelling work were highlighted. Finally, potential research topics for future studies were discussed in three categories; looking into the outburst phenomenon in the scale of the particles which is mostly focused on the discrete element method, conservation of the energy as a method to quantitively assess outburst initiation, and the application of statistics in both applying the heterogeneity in the models and assessing the possibility of the outburst occurrence. |
