Application of computational fluid dynamics to an auxiliary ventilation system for dust control in an underground mine
Description
This dataset contains the computational files, geometric models, mesh configurations, simulation parameters, and numerical results associated with the study entitled "Application of Computational Fluid Dynamics to an Auxiliary Ventilation System for Dust Control in an Underground Mine". The research evaluates the aerodynamic performance of an auxiliary push-pull ventilation system using CFD simulations developed with the open-source software ecosystem SALOME and OpenFOAM (BlueCFD). The dataset includes information used to analyze airflow distribution, static pressure gradients, and respirable dust dispersion within an underground mining development. These files are provided to support transparency, reproducibility, and future research in underground mine ventilation and occupational health.
