The conventional approach to evaluate the contaminant transport in soils adopts the macro-scale implementation while the pore configuration and network is a dominant factor to determine the fate of contaminant. However, the observation of fate and transport at pore scale may not be readily approachable because of the computational expenses to solve Navier-Stokes equation. We herein present the 2D Lattice-Boltzmann method that enables to assess the local fluid velocity and density efficiently for the case of single phase and multi-components. The solute fate spatio-temperal space is explicitly determined by the advection of fluid flow. Two different types of idealized pore space provides the path of fluid. Also, solute transport, the velocity field and average concentration of solute are computed in steady state. Results show that the pore geometry such as tortuosity mainly affect the solute fate. It highlights the significance of the pore configuration and shape in granular soils and rock discontinuity in spite of the equivalent porosity.

In order to verify the numerical model, which was developed to simulate the behavior of the two-phase fluid flow in a single fracture, the characteristic equation of relative permeability was incorporated into the developed numerical model, and the computed results were compared with the experimental results of the model test. As results of the sensitivity analysis on the roughness and the aperture size of fracture, the gas velocity was inversely proportional to the fracture roughness, and not proportional to the square of aperture size which is usually observed in single phase flow in a single fracture. The numerical model was applied to the underground LPG storage terminal in order to check the field applicability. The simultaneous flow of water and gas in accordance with the operation pressures in a single fracture near cavern was simulated by the model. It was shown that the leaked gas was able to be controlled in a single fracture neither by the pressure of operation nor by that of groundwater in case the fracture became smoother in roughness and smaller in aperture size.

The solids and the fluids in porous media have a relative velocity to each other. Due to physically and chemically different material properties and their relative velocity, the behavior of saturated porous media is extremely complicated. Thus, in order to describe and clarify the deformation behavior of saturated porous media, constitutive models for deformation of porous media coupling several effects need to be developed in frame of Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian(ALE) description. The aim of ALE formulations is to maximize the advantages of Lagrangian and Eulerian elements, and to minimize the disadvantages. Therefore, this method is appropriate for the analysis of porous media which are considered for the behavior of the solids and the fluids. For this reason, mass balance equations for saturated porous media are derived here in ALE description frames. ALE formulations of mass conservation for the solid phase and the fluid phase are expressed. Then, linear momentum balance equation for porous media as multiphase media is expressed.

혼합공정은 화학공학, 식품공학, 건축공학등 여러 가지 산업분야에 걸쳐 이용되는데 최근 고분자 분야에서도 신소재 개발 또는 제품의 물성을 향상시키기 위하여 이에대한 연구 가 활발해지고 있다. 고분자 가공에서 혼합에 이용되는 대표적인 기계로는 twin screw extruder, internal mixer, two roll mill 등이 있는데 본 연구에서는 internal mixer에서의 고 분자 유동 및 혼합거동을 파악하고자 하였다. 실험적으로는 flow visualization 방법을 써서 순환시간을 측정하였고, 시뮬레이션을 통하여 이론적으로 이를 검토하였다. 고분자 거동은 비뉴우톤을 유체로서 설명되기 때문에 본 연구에서는 혼합기의 구조적 특성을 고려한 모델 로서 $\eta$ = $\frac{\eta_o}{1+A[2trd^2]^\frac{1-n}{2}}$

In this study, the effect of hydrodynamic masses is investigated in the dynamic characteristics and earthquake response analyses of the submerged HANARO flow tubes. First, the consistent hydrodynamic masses of the surrounding water are obtained by finite element method. Then, modal analyses and response spectrum analyses are performed and verified by comparing the results with those measured from an experiment. Arbitrary cross-sections of submerged structures and boundary conditions of the surrounding fluid can be considered by using the general benefits of a finite element method comparing with the conventional analytical methods. Practical criteria based on parametric studies are proposed to evaluate the dynamic characteristics of HANARO flow tubes including the hydrodynamic masses.

In the present study, the safety of the near surface disposal facility for low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste (LILW) is examined based on the fluid-flow simulation model. The effects of the structural design and hydrological properties of the disposal system are quantitatively evaluated by estimating the flux of infiltrated water at the boundary of the structure. Additionally, the safety margins of the disposal system, especially for the cover layer and vault, are determined by applying the various scenarios with consideration of possible facility designs and precipitation conditions. The overall results suggest that the disposal system used in this study is sufficiently suitable for the safe operation of the facility. In addition, it is confirmed that the soundness of both the cover layer and the vault have great impact on the safety of the facility. Especially, as shown in the vault degradation scenario, capability of the concrete barrier of the vault make more positive contribution on the safe operation of the facility compared to that of the cover layer.

A floating crane is a crane-mounted ship and is used to assemble or to transport heavy blocks in shipyards. In this paper, the static and dynamic response of a floating crane and a heavy block that are connected using elastic booms and wire ropes are described. The static and dynamic equations of surge, pitch, and heave for the system are derived on the basis of flexible multibody system dynamics. The equations of motion are fully coupled and highly nonlinear since they involve nonlinear mass matrices, elastic stiffness matrices, quadratic velocity vectors, and generalized external forces. A floating frame of reference and nodal coordinates are employed to model the boom as a flexible body. The nonlinear hydrostatic force, linear hydrodynamic force, wire-rope force, and mooring force are considered as the external forces. For numerical analysis, the Hilber-Hughes-Taylor method for implicit integration is used. The dynamic responses of the cargo are analyzed with respect to the results obtained by static and numerical analyses.

The multiphase flow analysis related to phase change can be adapted to lots of areas such as evaporation and condensation has many interesting branches due to complicated phenomenon. In this study, the experimental investigation of cryogenic liquid in the porous media with various densities was shown how the cryogenic liquid behaves in the porous structure. For this study, permeability behaviors under different applying pressure of the glass wool with different bulk densities are discussed. Experimental investigation on the behavior of cryogenic liquefied nitrogen in the porous media is conducted. The result was that the non linearity of pressure gradient with location is increased and the permeability is decreased as the bulk density of glass wool increased. Lastly, simulation results with CFD commercial package program are used to realize the cryogenic liquid's flow in porous media to compare the finding with experimental results.
