Stability of Coal Pillar and Roof Movement Characteristics in Roadway Backfill Mining by Hai Lin, Renshu Yang, Yongliang Li, Shizheng Fang

“…When the width and height of the branch are both 5 m, the optimal number of the branches is obtained. Then, by establishing a mechanical model for the subsidence of the immediate roof, the process of the immediate roof subsidence is divided into three stages, namely, the formation stage of the local pressure arch, the merge stage of the pressure arch, and the expansion stage of the pressure arch. …”

Numerical Simulation of Grab Dredging on Flow Field and Sdiment Suspension Pattern in Construction Area by LONG Rui, JIN Zhong-wu, Tomoaki NAKAMURA, Yonghwan CHO, Norimi MIZUTANI

“…Key conclusions are as follows: 1)Environmental Impact Mitigation: Gradually reducing the grab’s descent speed before it reaches the sediment bed effectively decreases near-bed turbulence and sediment entrainment, thereby mitigating secondary pollution. 2)Recommended Strategy: Decelerating to one-third of the initial speed (0.33 m/s) starting at 3.0 m above the bed is the optimal descent profile among the cases studied, achieving substantial reduction in suspended sediment without compromising operational feasibility. 3)Modeling Advances: The integration of fluid, structural, and sediment dynamics through the FS3M model provides a powerful tool for analyzing complex interactions in dredging scenarios, capturing realistic behavior that conventional monitoring methods cannot resolve. 4)Future Work: Further studies should extend the modeling to include sediment excavation and lifting processes, and explore dynamic descent control strategies based on real-time sediment feedback.…”
