VUMA - Coolflow
VUMA-coolflow is a mine water-network modelling tool. The full thermodynamic interaction between the water reticulation network and the ventilation system is accounted for in the modelling procedures. Water flow is distributed as a function of pressure and the thermal effect of all network components, like pipes, turbines, dams, etc., is included to assist the optimal control of thermal energy systems. Applications of VUMA-coolflow include the simulation of chilled water dams with ice melting, the effects of chilled water in production zones, and the prediction of network system losses quantified per component
