Abstract: The objective of this study was to understand the characteristics of gas migration in a mine system network domain during a period of reversal ventilation. Combining field experiments with the TF1M3D simulation program, we analyzed gas migration and distribution during reversal ventilation in the JIU LI coal mine. The results showed that, after implementation of the airflow reversal process for the entire mine, the gas in the return roadways flowed back to the working face and accumulated with the gas emitted from the working face to form a gas concentration peak, after which the gas concentration gradually decreased in a stepwise manner and finally reached a stable state that was maintained until the end of the reversal ventilation. The peak gas concentration and the peak areas of the gas concentration curve during the airflow reversal were positively correlated with the time of airflow stoppage operation. The gas concentration peak affected the safety of the mine airflow reversal process; therefore, countermeasures and technical plans should be made in advance. The TF1M3D simulation results were consistent with the field experiment results.
