摘要
A three-dimensional simulation of the Underground coal gasification (UCG) process is studied in terms of the heat and mass transport phenomena and chemical kinetics in a coal seam during coal combustion by applying the controlled retracting injection point technique. The STARS module of the Computer Modelling Group software is used in this study. The gas species flow rate, cavity shapes, and temperature profile in the coal seam during gasification are investigated. The main motivation behind this study is to provide a simulation methodology by using a comprehensive porous media flow approach to understand the critical aspects of the UCG process.
