Popis: In this paper, according to the analysis of optimum circuits, we present an efficient ventilation network solution based on minimum independent closed loops. Our main contribution is optimizing the circuit dividing strategy to improve the iteration convergence and the efficiency of a single iteration. In contrast to a traditional circuit, a minimum closed loop may contain one or more co-tree branches but fewer high-resistance branches and fan branches. It is helpful in solving the problem of divergence or slow convergence for complex ventilation networks. Moreover, we analyze the dividing rules of closed loops and improve the dividing algorithm of minimum independent closed loops. Compared with the traditional Hardy Cross iteration method, the improved solution method has better iteration convergence and computation efficiency. The experimental results of real-world mine ventilation networks show that the improved solution method converges rapidly within a small number of iterations. We also investigate the influence of network complexity, iterative precision, and initial airflow on the iteration convergence.
