Numerical modelling of loose top coal and roof mass movement for a re-mined seam using the top coal caving method.

The re-mined face using top coal caving system is the most applicable method for recovering the remaining reserves of a previous partially-mined thick coal seam. However, this mining method may encounter the problems of low recovery and unpredicted geological conditions. A numerical model is develop...
