Abstract: In order to improve the effect of dust removal by ventilation in fully mechanized excavation face of large cross-section, a steady discrete phase model (DPM) was built in Fluent software for a vice inclined shaft, having an effective sectional area of 24.9 m2 and an air rate of 1 500 m3/min,of Longwanggou Mine under far-pressing-near-absorption ventilation. It was used to research the effects of both the forced and exhaust ventilation opening positions and the pressure extraction ratio on the diffusion. The results show when the distance from the forced-ventilation opening to mechanized excavation face and the distance from the exhaust-ventilation opening to mechanized excavation face are respectively 27.5 m and 5.0 m, and the ratio of pressure air volume to extraction air volume is 1.2, the effect of dust extraction by combined ventilation is optimal. And moreover, results from the numerical simulation conform with the measured results on the spot.
