airflow quantity. In the following section, modeling of the
movement of a truck and how it affects the airflow in the
mine are simulated. As stated before, it was also suggested
in research done by NIOSH in early 2000 that movement
of a truck in the mine can affect the airflow in the mine [4,
7, 8].
Scenario 3: Modeling with Truck Movement in the
Mine Without a Fan
The haul trucks entering and leaving the large-opening
mines does impact the airflow movement in the mine [7].
In order to show the simulation of the movement of the
truck in the mine, we first looked at the movement of a
