In the article, aerodynamic resistance of the stope face is studied in case of selective mining the coal seam. To carry out the research, the methodology of the computational experiment for evaluating the longwall face aerodynamic resistance influence on the efficiency of airing the stope face has been substantiated. The model of the stope face section, equipped with mining and backfilling mechanized complex based on the serial 1KD90 roof support has been developed in the 3D modeling software SolidWorks. The diagrams of the air stream velocity distribution, when it flows in the cross section of the longwall face working space with different positions of stoping equipment and the values of rock-cutting thickness of the seam bottom (rock ledge) have been obtained in the environment of computational module FlowSimulation. The pressure drop along the length of the aerodynamic model of the stope face section has been assessed. The dependences of the average velocity of the air stream flow on the value of rock-cutting thickness have been obtained. The obtained results can be used to improve and modernize the elements of mining and backfilling mechanized complex of machinery and equipment, as well as the technology for selective mining of thin and very thin coal seams in the Western Donbas.
