Abstract

The article presents physical modeling of geomechanical processes in outer zones of coal beds with the main roof caveable with difficulty. The scope of the modeling embrace the effect exerted on gas release by gas temperature and pressure variation during stage-wise outlet of gas from a pressure bomb, which simulates cyclical mechanical impact on a coal bed in the zones of a gas pocket. It is found that the low-frequency (2.0-4.5 Hz) attenuating vibrations generated in the main roof can induce both secondary rock mass disintegration as well as methane desorption and decomposition of gas hydrates (if present) accompanied by an increases in gas pressure and in number of gas-dynamic events in outer zones of coal beds.
