Kray Luxbacher of the Virginia Tech mining and minerals engineering department has received a $1.24 million, five-year contract to study the effects of roof falls, bumps, or explosions on underground mine ventilation systems. Phase 1 will consist of developing project tools, such as a computer program which will allow multiple users to employ computational fluid dynamics modeling, and an experimental apparatus for testing tracer gases.
