Influence law and control mechanism of coal seam permeability on coal and gas outburst by Chaolin ZHANG, Mingliang LIU, Enyuan WANG, Peizhong WANG, Qiaozhen JIANG, Wei ZENG

“…The coal and gas outburst experiments under different permeability conditions (1.38×10−15、6.69×10−15、7.34×10−15和9.10×10−15 m2) were carried out using the self-developed multi-functional test system for coal and gas outburst simulation. The results show that with the increase of permeability of coal seam, the migration form of outburst two-phase flow gradually changes from bolting flow to stratified flow and dune flow, and the migration velocity and peak value of pulverized coal decrease gradually, from 31.98 m/s under 1.38×10−15 m2 condition to 20.10 m/s under 9.10×10−15 m2 condition. …”
