Pipeline transportation has become the main mode of natural gas transportation. Due to inevitable aging, corrosion, and third-party damage, natural gas pipeline leakage accidents occur frequently. Leakage in the tunnel will lead to the leakage and accumulation of natural gas, and the potential explosion risk will threaten the tunnel's safety.

To prove the influence of the stack effect of the pipeline on the nitrogen movement in the pipeline and put forward effective ventilation control measures, the formation mechanism, gas diffusion law, and ventilation parameters of the stack effect of the oil and gas pipelines are studied through theoretical derivation and numerical simulation. The results show that the nitrogen concentration at the height of the breathing zone in the hot zone first increases and then decreases along the axial distance.

From this research, the following conclusions are drawn: when the first level of the ore pass is unloaded, the third and fourth levels are the main dust-producing positions, and the concentrations of dust in the breathing zone can reach 85 and 325 mg/m, respectively. Increasing the unloading interval and reducing the total single unloading quantity can prevent the superposition of dust production.
