Coal mine water outburst under fluid-solid coupling is a hot topic in coal geology. In this paper, the FLAC 3D simulation method is used to systematically study the water outburst problem of fluid coupling with coal mine floor. The results show that the vertical stress of the floor in the goaf has an obvious downward trend after coal seam excavation. Under the joint influence of mine pressure and bearing water pressure, the working face before the old roof pressure can be affected by two stages: the first stage is the advance pressure compression section on both sides of the working face, and the other stage is the pressure relief expansion section under the goaf. Before the old roof is pressed, the shear stress near the roof and floor is also affected to some extent. The front and rear displacement value of the goaf is negative, which is the result of the advance supporting pressure. The effective thickness of the floor waterproof layer decreases gradually with the advance of the working face. When the working face continues to advance, there will be a risk of water outburst. With the increasing width of the working face, the height of the guide belt increases. Therefore, in the process of mining activities, a variety of factors should be considered comprehensively, and a reasonable width of the working face should be selected to ensure the safety of mining.

China is rich in primary energy resources. Due to specific terrain conditions, different types of problems may occur in the process of development. When the coal seams are located under the oil layers, due to the physical characteristics of oil, the exploitation of coal seams will cause losses to the oil layers, and the volatile oil may also cause threats to coal mining. To analyze the fracture development and leakage characteristics of overburden strata for this type of geological conditions, we have carried out physical simulation experiments and performed a further numerical simulation to study and verify the evolution of fractures. Based on numerical simulation results, methods have been proposed that may effectively reduce the air leakage in the working face and control the parameters, including viscous resistance, distance, and the construction period of the blocking. In this paper, based on the 30100 face in the Nanliang coal mine as an example, we have proved that the proposed measures can provide good theoretical guidance for the prevention of spontaneous combustion of residual coal and control of water in coal mine production. The developed method offers good economic benefits for safe production in coal mines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
