Session: M1-E

ABSTRACT: Numerical thermal analysis has been effectively used in engineering designs and evaluations for northern regions. This paper presents six typical example applications of numerical thermal analysis in designs and evaluations of site facilities and pits for six mines in northern Canada and Russia. The applications cover the stages of design and construction, operation, and closure of the mines. Key features, methodology, and results for each example are presented.

RÉSUMÉ: L'analyse thermique numérique a été efficacement utilisée dans l'ingénierie des conceptions et les évaluations pour les régions du nord. Ce papier présente six applications d'exemple typiques d'analyse thermique numérique dans les conceptions et les évaluations de l'infrastructure du site et de fosses pour six mines dans Canada et de Russie du nord. Les applications couvrent les étapes de conception et la construction, l'opération, et la fermeture des mines. Les caractéristiques clés, la méthodologie, et les résultats pour chaque exemple est présenté. 1 INTRODUCTION
