modeling was done considering the truck movement going
in and coming out of the mine. The mesh configurations
were similar to the last scenario. Figure 14 shows the
expanded view of the mesh. The movement of the truck
was simulated for 45 seconds for the truck going in and
coming out. The velocity streamline of the simulation result
at 20 seconds of the truck moving in the mine is shown
in Figure 15. Similar to the previous scenario, results were
compared by taking the airflow quantity at different cross-
sections as shown in Figure 8.
Both models were compared to see the change in
the airflow due to the movement of a truck going in and
