Numerical simulation of realistic top coal caving intervals under different top coal thicknesses in longwall top coal caving working face

Abstract In the process of longwall top coal caving, the selection of the top coal caving interval along the advancing direction of the working face has an important effect on the top coal recovery. To explore a realistic top coal caving interval of the longwall top coal caving working face, longwal...
