In this paper, we introduce kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) methods for simulating diffusion process in nano-scale device fabrication. At first, we review kMC theory and backgrounds and give a simple point defect diffusion process modeling in thermal annealing after ion (electron) implantation into Si crystalline substrate to help understand kinetic Monte Carlo methods. kMC is a kind of Monte Carlo but can simulate time evolution of diffusion process through Poisson probabilistic process. In kMC diffusion process, instead of. solving differential reaction-diffusion equations via conventional finite difference or element methods, it is based on a series of chemical reaction (between atoms and/or defects) or diffusion events according to event rates of all possible events. Every event has its own event rate and time evolution of semiconductor diffusion process is directly simulated. Those event rates can be derived either directly from molecular dynamics (MD) or first-principles (ab-initio) calculations, or from experimental data.

In coastal region, eutrophication, Do deficit and red tide are frequently occurred by influx of fresh water. When the fresh water containing pollutants is discharged into the sea, the surrounding water is contaminated by dispersion of freshwater flowing into coastal waters. The prediction and analysis about the dispersion process of the discharged fresh water should be conducted. A modeling system using GUI was developed to simulate hydrodynamic flow and fresh water dispersion in coastal waters and to analyze the results efficiently. The modeling module of the system includes a tide model using a finite element method and a fresh water dispersion model using a particle-tracking method. This system was applied to predict the tidal currents and fresh water dispersion in Mokpo coastal zone. To verify accuracy of the hydrodynamic model, the simulation results were compared with observed sea level and time variations of tidal currents showing a good agreement. The fresh water dispersion was verified with observed salinity distribution. The dispersion model also was verified with analytic solutions with advection-diffusion problems in 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional simple domain. The system is operated on GUI environment, to ease the model handling such as inputting data and displaying results. Therefore, anyone can use the system conveniently and observe easily and accurately the simulation results by using graphic functions included in the system. This system can be used widely to decrease the environmental disaster induced by inflow of fresh water into coastal waters.

Warships widely spread numerous chaffs using a blast, which form chaff clouds that create false radar cross-sections to deceive enemy radars. In this study, we established a numerical framework based on a one-way coupling of computational fluid dynamics and discrete element method to simulate the spatiotemporal distribution of chaff clouds for warships in the air. Using the framework, we investigated the effects of wind, initial chaff cartridge angle, and blast pressure on the distribution of chaff clouds. We observed three phases for the chaff cloud diffusion: radial diffusion by the explosion, omnidirectional diffusion by turbulence and collision, and gravity-induced diffusion by the difference in the fall speed. The wind moved the average position of the chaff clouds, and the diffusion due to drag force did not occur. The direction of radial diffusion by the explosion depended on the initial angle of the cartridge, and a more vertical angle led to a wider distribution of the chaffs. As the blast pressure increased, the chaff clouds spread out more widely, but the distribution difference in the direction of gravity was not significant.

The transport of charged particles in electrostatic precipitator is investigated by Eulerian numerical analysis. Collection efficiencies are calculated using various combinations of the assumptions about flow field, turbulent diffusivity and boundary condition at collecting electrode. The characteristics of calculated collection efficiencies are compared with the trends of published experimental results. It is found that the collection efficiency for the case using nonuniform turbulent flow field, nonuniform turbulent diffusivity and zero concentration boundary condition at collecting electrode is the most suitable for the prediction of collection efficiency of electrostatic precipitator.

조석의 효과가 대수층에 미치는 해안대수층에서 지하수-기표수 상호작용에 관한 모사를 위해 수치모델링을 이용하였다 모사에 사용한 모델은 하천경계와 해안경계가 서로 직교하며 하천은 대수층을 부분 관통하고 있다. 해안경계와 하천경계에 의한 동시영향을 함께 모사한 결과, 해안경계에 의한 효과는 일정한 범위까지만 나타났으나, 하천경계에 의한 영향은 시간의 증가에 따라 영향범위가 넓어졌다. 하천경계와 해안경계조건이 만나는 부근에서는 해안경계에 의한 지하수위의 반복적인 상승과 하강으로 인해 두 경계조건에 의한 지하수위가 상호 상승작용을 일으키기도 하고 상호 상쇄되어 지하수위의 변화가 없는 엉역이 나타나기도 한다. 따라서 이러한 하천과 해안경계조건이 상호 교차하는 주변 대수층에서의 수위를 측정하여 해안대수층에서의 수리상수를 추정하면 수리확산계수를 과대 혹은 과소평가하는 오류를 범할 수 있으므로 주의를 요한다.

A numerical method is developed for the solution of fully developed turbulent recirculating flow whose cross-sectional area varies periodically. This enalbes the flow field analysis to be confined to a single isolated module, without involvement with the entrance region problem. This method are applied to the analysis of the turbulent flow field and heat transfer in artificially roughened annulus with repeated square rib.

비교적 묽은 섬유현탁액의 압출팽창 유동을 수치모사하기 위하여 유동장과 섬유배 향 사이의 상호작용을 고려하고 연속체이론에 기초한 유변방정식을 사용하였다. 또한 섬유 배향분포를 얻기 위하여 배향텐서로 표시된 섬유배향방정식을 사용하였는데 이때 섬유간 상 호작용의 효과를 고려해 주기 위하여 현상학적 확산항을 추가하였다. 실험결과와 비교가 용 이한 원통관을 통과하는 섬유현탁액의 압출팽창 유동을 수치모사한 결과 관 입구에서 섬유 가 유선방향으로 정렬되어 유입될 때 현탁강도가 증가함에 따라 팽창비는 감소함을 알수 있 었다. 하지만 관 길이가 짧고 또한 관 입구에서 섬유가 임의 배향상태로 유입될 경우에는 반대로 팽창비가 증가함을 보였다. 관 입구에서의 다른 배향상태에 의해 발생하는 팽창비의 서로다른 경향은 외부 표면부분과 내부중심부분의 신장점도의 차이로 설명할 수 있었다.

A mathematical model is presented for predicting the steady state two-demensional distribution of solute concentration in the meandering nonuniform natural channel. The dispersion equation derived herein employs the transverse cumulative discharge as an independent variable replacing the transverse distance and that it is developed in an orthogonal curvilinear coordinnate system which follows the flow direction of natural channel. The prediction from the results of numerical model are compared with laboratory experiment data. It is found that results from simulation and experiments are in good agreement.

산성침출수에 의한 광산폐기물 매립지 근처의 지하 환경의 오염 및 대처 방안의 효과를 수치적으로 예측하였다. 이를 위하여 지하토양에서 Darcy 법칙을 사용한 침출수의 흐름과 이산-분산에 의한 오염물질의 이동현상을 예측하기 위하여 Galerkin 유한요소법을 활용하였다. 토양오염의 지연을 위하여 석회석 차수막을 연직형과 수평형을 도입하여 그 효과를 조사하였다. 수평차수막에서의 수착이 오염물질의 이동을 지연시키는데 상당한 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 연직차수막은 지하수의 우회유동으로 인한 오염물질의 확산이 가중되고 있는 것으로 예측되었다. 전반적으로 침출수의 흐름은 광산매립지 제방 근처에서 강하게 일어나는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 근거로 차수막의 효과적인 설치방안이 고안되어야 할 것으로 보인다.

A three-dimensional numerical model for the simulation of meso-scale local circulation is developed and it is applied to the land and sea breezes which take place around Ulsan. The surface temperature and moisture on the land are determined by means of the surface heat budget with a layer of vegetation considered. The vertical diffusion coefficients of momentum, heat and specific humidity at the surface layer are obtained by the lever-2 model of the turbulence closure proposed by Yamada (1982). This model proved to be effective in simulating the structure of the land and sea breezes around Ulsan.
