Pumping tests were carried out from seven wells in fractured rocks. The time-drawdown data were obtained from pumping wells and corrected for the elapsed time of step drawdown test using Cooper-Jacob's method. A statistical method. the least square of error, was used to yield the coefficient of aquifer losses, the coefficient of well losses, and the power which indicates the severity of the turbulence. The values of the power range from 1.65 to 6.48. The well losses result mainly from turbulent flow caused by radial flow nearby pumping wells. The turbulent flow depends on Reynolds number. Since the hydraulic characteristics of fractured rocks control the fluid velocity, the value of the power is an important factor to understand the aquifer system of fractured rocks.

The equation of the step-drawdown test "$s_w=BQ+CQ^p$" written by Rorabaugh (1953) is suitable for drawdown increased non-linearly in the fractured rocks. It was found that value of root mean square error (RMSE) between observed and calculated drawdowns was very low. The calculated $C$ (well head loss coefficient) and $P$ (well head loss exponent) value of well head losses ($CQ^p$) ranged $3.689{\times}10^{-19}{\sim}5.825{\times}10^{-7}$ and 3.459~8.290, respectively. It appeared that the deeper depth in pumping well the larger drawdowns due to pumping rate increase. The well head loss in the fractured rocks, unlike that in porous media, is affected by properties of fractures (fractures of aperture, spacing, and connection) around pumping well. The $C$ and $P$ value in the well head loss is very important to interpret turbulence interval and properties of high or low permeability of fractured rock. As a result, regression analysis of $C$ and $P$ value in the well head losses identified the relationship of turbulence interval and hydraulic properties. The relationship between $C$ and $P$ value turned out very useful to interpret hydraulic properties of the fractured rocks.

Step-drawdown tests were conducted at four pumping Wells, two in porous media and two in fractured rocks, respectively. In general, P = 2.0 suggested by Jacob (1947) is applied to porous media and fractured rocks in terms of drawdowns of step-drawdown test. In an attempt to review problems of linear model (Jacob's graphic method) in interpreting the step-draw down test, the outcomes of well parameters (aquifer loss coefficient (B), well loss coefficient (C) and well loss exponent (P)) calculated from linear and nonlinear model (Labadie and Helweg's least-squares method) were compared and analyzed. The values of C and P calculated from linear and nonlinear models differed according to permeability of aquifer and the conditions of pumping well. The value C obtained from nonlinear models in porous media and fractured rocks is about $10^0{\sim}10^{-2}$ and $10^{-3}{\sim}10^{-6}$ times lower than in their linear models, respectively. The value P of porous media obtained from nonlinear model ranged from 2.123 to 2.775, while it ranged from 3.459 to 5.635 for fractured rocks. In case of nonlinear model, well loss highly depends on the value P. At this time, well efficiencies calculated from linear and nonlinear models were $1.56{\sim}14.89%$ for porous media and $8.73{\sim}24.71%$ for fractured rocks, showing a significant error according to chosen models. In nonlinear model, it was found that the regression analysis using the least squares method was very useful to interpret step-drawdown test in all aquifer.

양자우물 무질서화 기술은 양자우물구조의 성장후 그 구조의 밴드갭을 국부적으로 변화시킬 수 있는 기술적 특성으로 인해 기존의 광기능 소자 제작을 위한 결정재성장방법을 대체 혹은 보완할 수 있는 장점이 있기 때문에 최근 활발히 연구되고 있다. 여러 가지 양자우물 무질서화공정중 유전체 박막을 사용하는 impurity free vacancy disordering (IFVD) 공정은 불순물이 개입하지 않는 공정으로 공정후 양질의 반도체 표면을 유지할 수 있는 장점이 있으며 고아소자 제작시 광손실의 증가를 초래하지 않는다. 이 공정은 vacancy의 source로 작용하는 유전체박막의 특성에 크게 의존하며 GaAs/AlGaAs 계열의 양자우물에서는 많은 연구가 진행되었으나, 광통신용 광소자의 제작에 사용되는 InGaAs/InGaAsP 계열의 양자우물에 대한 연구는 충분하지 않다. 그림 1은 IFVD를 위해 본 연구에서 사용된 CBE로 성장한 InGaAs/InGaAsP SQW 구조이다. 성장된 구조는 상온에서의 QW peak, λpl=1550nm 이었다. IFVD를 위한 유전체 덮개층으로는 PECVD로 성장 조정하여 박막성장시의 조건을 변화시킴으로써 유전체 덮개층 박막의 특성을 변화시켰다. 그림 2는 질소 분위기의 furnace에서 75$0^{\circ}C$로 8분간 IFVD를 수행한후 측정한 무질서화된 양자우물의 상온 PL spectrum을 보여준다. 그림에서 보는바와 같이 동일한 SiNx 덮개층을 사용하는 경우에도 적어도 24meV의 bandgap차를 갖는 양자우물을 영역을 동일한 기판상에 제작할 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 일반적으로 IFVD 방법으로 국부적으로 양자우물을 무질서화 하기 위해서는 SiNx/SiO2와 같은 강이한 박막을 사용하였지만 이 방법을 사용하는 경우 상이한 박막을 사용하는 데서 야기되는 제반 문제를 해결할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 이 기술은 기존의 광소자 제작을 위한 IFVD 방법의 문제점을 해결할 뿐만 아니라 결정 재성장 없이 도일한 기판상에 국부적으로 상이한 bandgap 영역을 만들 수 있기 때문에 광소자 제작에 적극 이용될 수 있다.

We present a novel method for simple and efficient analysis of the rectangular MQW waveguide. Preferentially two-dimensional structure is transformed into one-dimensional structure by using the effective index method. Then, the characteristic matrix of the resultant planar MQW waveguide is analyzed by scanning angle method. The effective index, modal intensity, and optical confinement factor of rectangular MQW waveguide can be effectively obtained by this method. Our simulation results show excellent agreement with the accurate solutions based on the finite element method. We also introduce the approximation methods for the analysis of rectangular MQW waveguide and investigate their validity. By using perturbation approach, modal power loss of guided wave in rectangular MQW waveguide is newly investigated and compared with the conventional method using the approximation of planar MQW waveguide.

Step-drawdown test has been generally conducted to evaluate productivity or efficiency of both aquifer and well. In general step-drawdown test, pumping with a low constant discharge rate is conducted in the first stage until the drawdown within the well stabilizes. And then the groundwater is pumped with a higher rate in the next step until the drawdown stabilizes once more. This process is repeated at least three times (steps), with the equal duration. In this paper we tried to review some critical problems related to the step-drawdown test, which were revealed in the process of field practices and analyses. The problems, referred in this paper are mainly associated with the incorrect conceptual approach for analysis and incomplete data collection in the field test.

So far, several fractal models of fluid flow in a fractured aquifer have been developed. In this study, a new fractal model is derived that considers transient flow in the dual-porosity aquifer with the fracture skin between the fissure and the block, and the storage capacity and the wellbore skin on the pumping well. Constant-head upper boundary is specified in the block. This model is a generalized one which comprises both modified Hantush equation (1960) and Boulton-Streltsova equation (1978). Type curves are plotted for different flow dimensions (0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3) with various values of the leakage factor and the fracture skin. They show dimensionless drawdown in the pumping well and observation wells located either in the fissure system or in the matrix block.

This study deals with linear flow pattern in steady-state or transient dual-porosity media with a vertical geologic structure such as fault, fracture zone, etc. A pumping well is located in the vertical structure of infinitesimal or finite width with high hydraulic conductivity and negligible specific storage. Selected type curves on a pumping well and observation wells in the fractured system and the matrix block are provided. The type curves on the pumping well considers both wellhole and well-loss effects.

A new nonstationary dual-porosity fractal model is presented which simulates a nonsteady state block-to-fissure flow with or without fracture skin between the block and the fissure in a fractal aquifer. The model includes weilbore storage and well loss effects on the production well. Type curves for different flow dimensions with different values of hydraulic parameters are created. The application of the model to experimental data in fractured aquifer is described.

The stationary dual-porosity model is not sufficient to describe the hydraulic characteristics of fractured aquifers as the groundwater flow in fractured aquifers is often controlled by the fractal geometry of fractures. This study deals with new stationary dual-porosity fractal model. This model simulates pseudo-steady state flow from matrix block to fissure in the fractal aquifer. Furthermore, it considers storage capacity and well loss effect at the production well. Type curves for different flow dimensions with different drainage factors are plotted. This new model has been applied to experimental data. The result of the interpretation shows a good accordance between the theoretical model and the observed data.
