The findings reveal that the spontaneous combustion risk zones in gob-side entry retaining faces can be categorized into two distinct regions: the rear section of the working face and the gob-side entry area. The hazard distribution behind the working face demonstrates similarity to conventional “U”-type ventilation patterns, while the combustion risk in the entry-retained side primarily arises from the combined effects of leakage through flexible formwork walls, residual coal distribution patterns, and inherent coal oxidation characteristics. Progressive analysis demonstrates that the maximum oxidation zone and peak temperature locus migrate from the return air side toward the gob-side entry area with advancing face progression. Comparative evaluation of nitrogen injection strategies (single-point, uniform multi-point, and self-regulating multi-point configurations) demonstrates that the self-regulating nitrogen injection system achieves superior fire suppression efficacy compared to single-point injection while reducing nitrogen consumption by 43.3% relative to uniform multi-point injection.

The TF1M3D simulation platform was utilized to model the post-explosion migration and spread of CO-deficient hot airflow under various ventilation conditions. The simulation revealed that when the Liangzhuang return air shaft fan failed for 30 min, CO-deficient hot airflow dispersed throughout the mine under the influence of other ventilation fans and residual explosion heat. After ventilation was restored, the hazardous airflow was completely expelled from the mine within 30 min. The simulation demonstrated that the hazardous airflow changed direction twice before and after the restoration of the Liangzhuang return air shaft fan, affecting working faces 12 403 and 12 405 twice and exacerbating the disaster’s impact and spread.
