3D modeling in ANSYS Fluent software has been used to research air flows distribution character on surface and in deep open-pit space with taking into account actual local relief and open-pit scale. This has allowed revealing influence of rock dumps and near-wall pit zones on generation of recirculated zones and turbulent flows, and extent of air flows weakening in different open-pit zones depending on wind velocity on surface
