Abstract

Brattice walls in mine shafts are used for various purposes, for example, permanent brattice walls can be used to separate ventilation sections. They can be also used in the case of modernization of the hoisting system, as it is in Shaft no. 1 of the Szczygłowice department, part of the Knurów-Szczyłowice coal mine. To shorten the time and reduce costs of the hoist modernization, the shaft is to be partitioned into two sections—with the hoist operating in one of them and another one being modernized in the other section. The new construction of the light brattice wall was designed for this purpose. To prove its usefulness and safety it was tested in the laboratory and computer simulations. The following paper presents CFD simulations of the brattice—its methodology and results together with an overview of works to be conducted in the shaft.
