In order to study the laws of radon reduction ventilation in a stope with trackless Z-shaped filling method, the actual geometric structure, ventilation parameters, and radon exhalation rate of the exposed surface of this type of stope are determined. The air flow rate distribution, average radon concentration and the volume proportion exceeding the stipulated limit in stopes of different heights were studied by CFD method for the direct ventilation structure and the improved structure with adjustable air curtain. The results show that: 1) For the existing ventilation structure, with the incre...
