Comparison of Mine Ventilation Simulation Software
Abstract
Ventilation network modeling in mine planning dates back at least three decades, but it is not widely accepted and/or practiced until the last decade, thanks to the advent of modern computers with their increase d speed and storage space. There are at least half a dozen such modeling software packages available on the market each with different features and acceptance. This paper compares five popular software packages,- VnetPC Pro, MineVent, VentSIM Visual, VentGraph and MFIRE 3.0. a case study using Missouri S&T's Experimental Mine is conducted to compare the five software packages in features, interface, output display and user-friendliness.
