Computational Modeling of the Degassing of Coal Seams

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

A physico-mathematical model of methane desorption and filtration in an undisturbed coal seam in the vicinity of a degassing well is proposed. The results are presented on calculations of the change in the specific methane release from this well and in the average content of methane in the coal mass in its vicinity in a degassing time of up to 6 years. A good agreement between the results of calculations of the model and the engineering formulas has been obtained.
