The mining causes the immediate roof to cave-in, separation and shearing of bedding planes in the stratum above the cave-in zone, and fracturing and deformation in the far-locating host rocks [14]. Numerical modelling was conducted to simulate these events to assess the stability of the gates and the chain pillar. Discussion
A numerical simulation is an effective tool for studying the land subsidence changes caused by groundwater over-extraction. Land subsidence has become a common engineering geological problem, which can easily induce many secondary disasters. Jining is facing severe land subsidence, which has seriously affected the city's development.

Well-calibrated numerical models can assist in providing a better understanding of the load and failure processes, provided the coal, the overburden, and the gob are all modeled with suffcient realism. A program of numerical model calibration and validation was carried out using FLAC3D. 1
A combined finite-discrete element method (FDEM) is proposed to model the dynamic fracture, fragmentation, and resultant muck-piling process during mining production by blast in underground mine. The key component of the proposed method, that is, transition from continuum to discontinuum through fracture and fragmentation, is introduced in detail, which makes the proposed method superior to ...
Brazil et al. [13] suggested a model to optimize the transportation costs of underground mining roads. This model focused on the underground mine networks. Two models were investigated by Dharma and Ahmad [14]. These models presented for application in two iron ore mines. These models were applied to optimize transportation cost.
Furthermore, a geo-mechanical model test system for the new mining method is independently developed. In order to clarify the control mechanism of the AFR surrounding rock, the model test is performed. Corresponding engineering suggestions are then proposed according to the results of the numerical simulations and geo-mechanics model test.

During the first filling, the reservoir is gradually raised in multiple stages. At each stage, the filling is paused to allow adequate time for monitoring and evaluating the performance of the dam and its foundation. The analysis of the monitored behavior and assessment of security conditions is performed by comparing the values measured by the monitoring system installed in the dam with the ...
A Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of Couette-Poiseuille flow is presented and analyzed in two ways. First, we test four semi-theoretical proposals for universal behaviour of respectively the velocity, the mixing length, the eddy viscosity, and the turbulence-kinetic-energy production rate. The question is which one may carry over from zero pressure gradient, for which they all agree, to ...
