## Description

This MCP server provides a professional-grade simulation engine for underground mine ventilation. It uses the Hardy Cross method to calculate steady-state airflows and pressures across complex network topologies. Users can determine specific fan operating points, calculate airway resistance based on physical dimensions, and validate network integrity. The solver accounts for natural ventilation pressure (NVP) to ensure accurate hydraulic balancing of the entire circuit.

## Tools

### get_airway_resistance_profile
Calculates the resistance of specific airways based on physical dimensions

### calculate_fan_operating_points
Determines the specific state (pressure and quantity) at which a fan will operate given a specific network resistance

### solve_network_flow
Performs the core iterative calculation to find the steady-state airflows and pressures across the entire mine network

### validate_network_topology
Checks the integrity of the provided mine geometry before simulation
