ABSTRACT
Purpose. Increasing the safety of personnel at underground works in case of the threat of gas explosions, including explosion of degassing pipelines by taking into account the influence of the place of initiation of the explosion and the mode of combustion when calculating the parameters of the explosion. Mathematical modeling of the process of ignition and combustion of the methane-air mixture in the degassing pipeline.
Research methods. nalysis and generalization of theoretical studies, numerical simulation of gas-dynamic detonation combustion of a gas-air mixture, including a model of chemical combustion kinetics, which, on the whole, allows one to trace the dynamics of formation of shock air waves in conditions of mine workings. Mathematic processing of the results of the experiment by the method of least squares. When solving the nonlinear regression equations, linearization was used by the method of logarithm.
Results. It is established that the combustion dynamics of the gas-air mixture has a decisive influence on the formation of UVB: in the deflagration combustion mode of the gas-air mixture, with the initiation at the edge of the cloud, the length of the blast wave is increased 3.6 times in the direction opposite to combustion, and the wave amplitude by 10% spread of flame. In the detonation mode, the effect of a directed explosion is observed, in which the amplitude of the shock air wave is opposite to the motion of the detonation wave 5 times less than in the direct shock air wave. The model of an instantaneous volumetric explosion, in comparison with combustion models, yields an underestimated amplitude value.
Scientific novelty. As a result of numerical modeling of the ignition and combustion of the sealed section of the mine atmosphere, regularities in the formation and propagation of shock air waves, the dependence of their parameters on the combustion regime and the location of the initiation of the gas-air mixture were obtained.
Practical value. The conducted research allows to improve the method of calculating the resistance of degassing pipelines and their elements to explosive load.
Keywords: gas-air mixture, instantaneous explosion, shock wave, detonation, deflagration combustion, initiation point.
