Abstract
Dust generated by tunnel drilling and blasting seriously harms workers' health. To ensure the personal safety of construction personnel and create a clean working environment, this study, in combination with the actual engineering background and on-site monitoring data, simulates the interaction between the airflow field and the dust field under forced ventilation conditions. The distribution characteristics of the airflow field and the dust migration law are investigated at heights of 0.3 m and 1.5 m. The results show that the recirculation zone formed on the farthest side of the air duct has a relatively high wind speed and serves as the main carrier for transporting dust particles. In contrast, the eddy current zone far from the outlet of the air duct has complex and disordered airflow, which significantly inhibits the transportation of dust. The density of dust particles is the decisive factor for the decline rate of dust concentration. There is more dust accumulation at the lower level, and the diffusion is slower. The reliability of the simulation results is verified by the on-site monitoring data. Further research on the ideal ventilation parameters of the tunnel indicates that the ideal ventilation wind speed is 15 m/s, and the ideal distance between the air duct and the working face is 40 m.
期刊介绍:
ChERD aims to be the principal international journal for publication of high quality, original papers in chemical engineering.
Papers showing how research results can be used in chemical engineering design, and accounts of experimental or theoretical research work bringing new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating directions for future research, are particularly welcome. Contributions that deal with new developments in plant or processes and that can be given quantitative expression are encouraged. The journal is especially interested in papers that extend the boundaries of traditional chemical engineering.
