According to ANSYS - developer of the Multiphysics platform for computer simulations - the FSI (Fluid-Structure Interaction) model can be used in all cases where a fluid encounters a solid structure, for example, wind gusts rotating a turbine, air washing the surface of a moving car etc. This method finds applications especially in the aeronautical and automotive industries, but also in medical research, such computer simulations track the influences of blood pressure and blood flow velocity in the veins. This pap...

Underground mining remains one of the most dangerous occupations in the world, and coalmining is known for its high accident rates. In this paper we aim to present an overview of safety in the extractive industry and we will present statistics on known accidents. The repeated occurrence of explosions in underground mining raises questions about the measures taken to prevent their occurrence. Hazard identification and risk analysis are necessary to identify adverse events that may lead to a hazardous situation, to ...
