Journal of Mining Science Aims and scope

Abstract

The authors discuss the numerical and field research findings on seismic radiation of water flow in a fracture. The flow parameters can be remotely controlled using the amplitude-versus-frequency response of the vibrations recorded. It is recommended to include the infra-low frequency control in the seismic monitoring in hydrodynamically hazardous mines.
