Abstract

Abstract

Computer simulation was used for hydraulic lifting systems. Based on theory of multiphase flows and their applications on the lifting systems, mathematical models for pump lifting and air lifting were built and simulative analysis programs for them were developed respectively. Corresponding lifting behaviors and system parameters were analyzed and optimum match of the parameters for future pilot mining tests and commercial mining production was predicted.
