Subsidence modeling studies attempt to predict vertical subsidence or settlement profiles, horizontal displacement, principal stress contours, horizontal strain profiles, overburden failure and collapse, and collapse zone shape above the cavity. The physical and geometrical factors to consider in subsidence modeling; the empirical, analytical, numerical, and phenomenological approaches used to model subsidence in underground coal gasification; and the results of applying these subsidence models to UCG field tests were reviewed.
