This study investigates a dynamic regulation strategy for intelligent gas drainage negative pressure using a comprehensive approach involving numerical simulations, intelligent algorithms, and field experiments. In the numerical simulation component, a permeability evolution model was developed to characterize the area in front of the mining face. Simulations were performed under three negative pressure settings (13 kPa, 18 kPa, and 25 kPa) to investigate the relationships among drainage negative pressure, gas concentration, and flow rate. For the intelligent algorithm, a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) prediction model was developed to forecast drainage negative pressure. Based on the predictions, a dynamic regulation strategy for intelligent gas drainage negative pressure was formulated. For field validation, a 120-day in situ experiment was carried out. Intelligent control valves and monitoring instruments were deployed across various sections of the coal seam ahead of the mining face, validating the proposed regulation strategy. The results indicate that permeability is highest in the pressure-relief zone ahead of the mining face and lowest in the stress concentration zone. In the original stress zone, which is unaffected by mining disturbances, the permeability remains unchanged. Drainage negative pressure is positively correlated with gas flow rate, but negatively correlated with gas concentration. In the stress concentration zone, when drainage negative pressure reaches ...
