Abstract: In this paper, the application status of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling in mine ventilation is presented by reviewing papers published since the year 2000. The aspects covered in these papers are the numerical analyses of working faces, mine tunnels, ventilation systems, and open-pit mines. CFD modeling procedures for mine ventilation are summarized. Further, building geometries, grid generation, solutions of equations, model validation, grid-independence studies, and solution convergence are discussed. Several examples of CFD modeling for mine ventilation are provided. Finally, conclusions including recommendations for future studies that may allow for more advantageous applications of such numerical simulations are provided.
