Groundwater flow in fractured rock masses is controlled by combined effects of fracture networks, state of geostafic stresses and crossflow between fractures and rock matrix. Furthermore the scaie dependent, anisotropic properties of hydraulic parameters results mainly from irregular paftems of fracture system, which can not be evaluated properly with the methods available at present. The basic assumpfion of discrete fracture network model is that groundwater flows only along discrete fractures and the flow paths in rock mass are determined by geometric paftems of interconnected fractures. The characteristics of fracture distribution in space and fracture hydraulic parameters are represented as the probability density functions by stochastic simulation. The discrete fracture network modelling was aftempted to characterize the groundwater flow in the vicinity of existing large cavems located in Wonjeong-ri, Poseung-myon, Pyeungtaek-kun. The fracture data of $1\textrm{km}^2$ area were analysed. The result indicates that the fracture sets evaluated from an equal area projection can be grouped into 6 sets and the fracture sizes are distributed in longnormal. The conductive fracture density of set 1 shows the highest density of 0.37. The groundwater inflow into a carvem was calculated as 29ton/day with the fracture transmissivity of $10^{-8}\textrm{m}^2/s$. When the fracture transmissivity increases in an order, the inflow amount estimated increases dramatically as much as fold, i.e 651 ton/day. One of the great advantages of this model is a forward modelling which can provide a thinking tool for site characterization and allow to handle the quantitative data as well as qualitative data.

본 연구에서는 지하수로부터 방출된 실내라돈오염을 해석하기 위한 수학적 모델에서 모델인자들의 불확실성을 고려하고 인체축적량을 정량적으로 해석하는 PBPK모델을 사용하여 호흡을 통한 라돈의 인체축적량을 보다 현실적으로 평가하려고 한다. 우선, 전에 사용한 3 구역모델을 샤워실과 화장실을 구분하는 경계가 없다는 국내실정을 감안하여 보다 현실적으로 개량한 2-구역 모델을 개발하였다. (중략)

A stochastic continuum(SC) modeling technique was developed to simulate the groundwater flow pathway in fractured rocks. This model was developed to overcome the disadvantageous points of discrete fracture network(DFN) modes which has the limitation of fracture numbers. Besides, SC model is able to perform probabilistic analysis and to simulate the conductive groundwater pathway as discrete fracture network model. The SC model was formulated based on the discrete fracture network(DFN) model. The spatial distribution of permeability in the stochastic continuum model was defined by the probability distribution and variogram functions defined from the permeabilities of subdivided smaller blocks of the DFN model. The analysis of groundwater travel time was performed to show the consistency between DFN and SC models by the numerical experiment. It was found that the stochastic continuum modes was an appropriate way to provide the probability density distribution of groundwater velocity which is required for the probabilistic safety assessment of a radioactive waste disposal facility.

Open dump of refuse causes groundwater and soil contamination by leachate and air pollution by LFG(Landfill Gas). In this paper, in order to perform a study about reduction of high leachate and LFG collection & control, using a 3-D, 2-phase, transient FDM model, the analysis of simultaneous flow of leachate and LFG has been carried out. In present numerical analysis it is assumed that 58 percents of LFG will evaporate to the ambient air and the recharge rate of a landfill be 12 percent of the average precipitation per year. All other data were excerpted at the point of 1995 when three refuse layers had been buried. From numerical analysis we concluded that maximum head value is approximately 26 mH2O<-에이치투오 (2.52 atm) in the center of the system and that installing venting trench plays an important role in landfill stabilization. Evan with the assumption of three layers constructed and low recharge rate applied, it is found that cumulative leachate and LFG productions will be 15.1 million 세제곱미터, 5.58 billion 세제곱미터, respectively after 40 years.

A series of three-dimensional numerical simulations using a generalized multidimensional hydrodynamic dispersion numerical model is performed to simulate effectively and to evaluate quantitatively impacts of fault existence on densitydependent groundwater flow and salt transport in coastal aquifer systems. A series of steady-state numerical simulations with calibration is performed first for an actual coastal aquifer system which contains a major fault. A series of steadystate numerical simulations is then performed for a corresponding coastal aquifer system which does not have such a major fault. Finally, the results of both numerical simulations are compared with each other and analyzed. The results of the numerical simulations show that the major fault produces hydrogeologically significant heterogeneity and true anisotropy in the actual coastal aquifer system, and density-dependent groundwater flow, salt transport, and seawater intrusion patterns in the coastal aquifer systems are intensively and extensively dependent upon the existence or absence of such a major fault. Especially, the major fault may act as a pathway for groundwater flow and salt transport along the direction parallel to its plane, while it may also behave as a barrier against groundwater flow and salt transport along the direction perpendicular to its plane.

Groundwater inflow into the caverns constructed in fractured rock mass was simulated by numerical modeling, NAPSAC (DFN, discrete fracture network model) and NAMMU (CPM, continuous porous media model), a finite-element software package for groundwater flow in 3D fractured media developed by AEA Technology, UK. The input parameters for modeling were determined on surface fracture survey, core logging and single hole hydraulic test data. In order to predict the groundwater inflow more accurately, the anisotropic hydraulic conductivity was considered. The anisotropic hydraulic conductivities were calculated from the fracture network properties. With a minor adjustment during model calibration, the numerical modeling is able to reproduce reasonably groundwater inflows into cavern and the travel length and times to the ground surface along the flow paths in the normal, dry and rainy seasons.

An integrated model for groundwater flow and radionuclide transport analyses is being developed incorporating six underground silos, an excavated damaged zone (EDZ), and fractured host rock. The model considers each silo as an engineered barrier system (EBS) consisting of a waste zone comprising waste packages and disposal container, a buffer zone, and a concrete lining zone. The EDZ is the disturbed zone adjacent to silos and construction & operation tunnels. The heterogeneity of the fractured rock is represented by a heterogeneous flow field, evaluated from discrete fractures in the fractured host rock. Radionuclide migration through the EBS in silos and the fractured host rock is simulated on the established heterogeneous flow field. The current model enables the optimization of silo design and the quantification of the safety margin in terms of radionuclide release.

암반 내에 공동을 굴착하여 LPG 혹은 원유를 저장하는 경우 공동에서의 지하수 유입량은 공동상부의 수압과 공동내의 가스압과의 관계를 파악할 수 있는 정량적인 지표가 된다. 공동내의 유입량은 되도록 일정하게 유지되는 것이 굴착등의 시공단계와 공동 운영 및 유지관리면에서 유리하며, 유입량의 급증 혹은 급감이 일어나는 경우는 그 원인을 조기에 규명하여야 한다. 이를 위해서는 지하수위, 가스저장압, 수막공 주입압 등에 따른 공동주변의 유동장 해석, 공동내로의 지하수 유입량 해석을 실시해야 한다. 지하저장공동의 유입량 해석에 있어서는 공동의 정확한 형상을 반영하기 위해서 유한요소법이 보편적으로 사유되어 왔으나 한번 설정한 유한요소망으로부터 공동의 설계요소를 변경하는 작업은 수원하지 않아 설계전단계에서 공동 및 수막 시설의 다양한 배치에 따른 모의를 수행하는데는 다소 무리가 있다. 이러한 불편함은 경계부의 형상과 조건만으로 내부점에서의 미지변수 계산을 효과적으로 수행할 수 있는 경계요소법을 도입함으로써 극복할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지하공동으로 배수되는 유입량 산정을 위해 경계요소법을 근간으로 한 2차원 지하수 흐름모형을 구성하였고, 이를 지하저장공동이 위치한 A기지에 적용하여 상부경계조건인 지하수위의 변화, 수막공 주입압 등에 따른 공동내의 유입량과 공동저장압과의 관계를 정량적으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과를 지하저장공동의 운영 및 유지관리에 활용될 수 있도록 수식화하여 제시하였다.
