Numerical Simulation Study on Air-Flow Migration Law about Vortex Air Curtain of Plane Wall Fan Drum

Abstract:

Vortex air curtain of plane wall fan drum can control the diffusion of air stripping dust effectively. In order to solve the high-concentration dust problem in fully mechanized excavation face, formation mechanism of vortex air curtain was analyzed. According to fluid mechanical control equations of gas phase flow, mathematical model was established to solve air migration law of vortex air curtain in fully mechanized excavation face. By using Simple algorithm based on collocated grid and fluent software, numerical simulation of air spatial migration law of closed-end dust control in fully mechanized excavation face was carried out. The simulation results show that vortex air curtain dust control system can form dust control fan drum along driving head to the front of the roadheader driver. According to the simulation results and actual conditions of working face field, vortex air curtain suction dust control system consisted of plane wall fan drum and exhausted dust purification device in fully mechanized excavation face was designed, and after it was applied in fully mechanized excavation face, the dust concentration decreased effectively in the working face field.
