이 연구는 우리나라 균열암반 대수층의 수리적 특성을 해석ㆍ평가하기 위하여 양수시험 해석해(Theis, 1935; Cooper-Jacob, 1946; Papadopulos-Cooper, 1967; Hantush, 1962a,b; Moench, 1985; Hantush-Jacob, 1955) 및 일반화 방사상 유동 모델을 이용하여 균열암반 대수층(화강암, 화산암, 변성암, 백악기퇴적암, 제3기 퇴적암에 굴착된 100개 조사공)에서 수행되어진 양수시험으로부터 얻은 122개의 양수시험자료(수위강하 자료)를 분석하였다. AQTESOLV 전산프로그램을 이용한 양수시험자료 분석에 의하면, 122개 자료중 86개(71%)의 자료들이 이 연구에 사용된 해석해와 일치하며, 양수시험자료 해석해 중에 누수(leaky) 및 경계조건(boundary condition)을 고려한 해석해들이 53개(43%)로 가장 많이 나타났다. 그러므로, 양수시험자료의 해석은 균열암반 대수층의 수리지질학적 특성에 적합한 개념모델의 설정이 중요하다. 일반화 방사상 유동(GRF)모델을 적용해보면, 122개의 자료중 77개(63%)의 자료들이 Barker(1988)의 표준곡선에 의한 차원(1.1차원-2.9차원)을 보여준다. 이중 44.2%에 해당하는 39개 자료가 1.1차원과 1.9차원 사이의 분할 유동차원을 보여주는 반면에 26개(6.5%)만이 Theis 이론에 맞는 2차원의 방사상 흐름을 보여주며, 38개(49.3%)는 2.1차원에서 2.9차원에 속한다. 따라서 우리나라 균열암반 대수층에서 지하수 유동은 대부분 분할차원의 유동을 보여주는 것으로 평가된다.

A numerical model was developed using COMSOL Multiphysics to evaluate groundwater flow that causes radionuclide migration in the unsaturated zone of a near-surface disposal facility, which is considered as a domestic low and an intermediate-level radioactive waste disposal facility. Each scenario was modeled by constructing a two-dimensional domain that included the disposal vault, backfill, disposal cover, and unsaturated aquifer. A comparison of the continuous and intermittent rainfall conditions exhibited no significant difference in any of the factors considered except the wave pattern of water saturation. The input data, such as porosity and residual water content of the unsaturated aquifer, were observed to not have a significant effect on the groundwater flow. However, the hydraulic conductivity of the unsaturated aquifer was found to have a significant effect on the groundwater flow. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the hydraulic conductivity of an unsaturated aquifer to determine the extent of groundwater infiltration into the disposal vault.

With regard to oversea mineral resources development, recent trend has been changed from a simple capital investment to a direct development of the resources. In relation to the stability of a slope in large open-pit coal mine, groundwater system was investigated and the validity of horizontal drainage hole was evaluated in Pasir coal mine, Indonesia. In this work, various field tests were carried out for a characterization of groundwater system, which included in-situ permeability measurement, tracer test and monitoring of groundwater levels. Especially, the influence of SM river on the characteristics of the groundwater flow system was mainly inspected. For the permeability measurement, Guelph permeameter was employed, and was found that sandstone was more permeable than mudstone and coal seam. From a comparison of lithological structure and the results of groundwater level monitoring, sandstone and thin coal seam with fractures were found to be a main channel for groundwater flow. In the results of tracer tests, the effect of SM river on the groundwater system depends on the geological structure of its base. To identify the effect of horizontal drainage holes, 2-D groundwater modeling was performed. Four different cases were tested, which are different from the length of drainage hole and the existence of pond on top of the slope. To enhance the drainage effect and slope stability, the drainage hole should be drilled to the depth of coal seam layer, which provides a main pathway of groundwater flow and embedded by sandstone. For this purpose, correct identification of surrounding geology should be preceded.

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.

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 urbanization on density-dependent groundwater flow and salt transport in a coastal aquifer system, Suyeong-Gu, Busan, Korea. A series of steady-state numerical simulations of groundwater flow and salt transport before urbanization with material properties of geologic formations, which are established by numerical modeling calibrations considering all the urbanization factors, is performed first without considering all the urbanization factors. A series of transient-state numerical simulations of groundwater flow and salt transport after urbanization is then performed considering the urbanization factors individually and all together. Finally, the results of both numerical simulations are compared with each other and analyzed. The results of the numerical simulations show that density-dependent groundwater flow, salt transport, and seawater intrusion in the coastal aquifer system are intensively and extensively impacted by the urbanization factors. Especially, these urbanization factors result in the changes of the total groundwater volume and salt mass in the coastal aquifer system. However, such impacts of each urbanization factor are not spatially uniform but locally different.

We present the results of two-dimensional numerical simulations predicting the flow of groundwater in a fractured unsaturated zone. We applied the k-field distribution of permeability derived from discrete fracture network (DFN) modeling as the hydraulic properties of a model domain. To model an unsaturated zone, we set the depth from the ground surface to the underground aquifer. The rate of water infiltration into the unsaturated zone was divided into two parts, an artificial structure surface and unsaturated soil zone. The movement of groundwater through the unsaturated zone was simulated with particular emphasis on contaminant transport. It was clearly observed that the contaminants dissolved in groundwater transported vertically from the ground surface to the saturated zone.

Fluctuations in groundwater level are the major cause of ground subsidence in the abandoned limestone mine. In this study, evaluation of groundwater flow under three different cases of natural condition, aggregate-filling, temporary drainage in groundwater-saturated limestone mine cavities was executed by 3-dimensional analysis. In the case of aggregate-filling, although the water level both in the upper ground of mine cavities and an agricultural watershed was elevated, it was lower than the water level fluctuation of an agricultural water use and rainfall and the flow rate was similar to the flow rate of natural condition. In the case of temporary drainage, as the water level in the upper ground of mine cavities and an agricultural watershed decrease rapidly and the flow rate has increased by 25times, so the risk of ground subsidence increased.

개별 대수층에 냉수와 온수를 저장하여 수자원과 냉난방 열원으로 활용하는 방안에 대한 평가를 지열-지하수 부정류 모델링을 통해 수행하였다. 저장 및 회수 가동 시간이 증가함에 따라서 각각의 대수층 내에 온열과 냉열이 축열되는 현상이 확인되었으며, 지하수 유동에 의해 축열된 수체가 지하수 흐름방향으로 이동하는 현상을 확인 하여 지하수 유동이 축열 정도를 결정하는 요인이 될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 설정된 모델에 대하여, 두 개의 개별 대수층 사이의 열 간섭은 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 주입과 양수의 가동 횟수가 증가되면, 대수층 축열 효과는 증대되는 것으로 나타났다. 열-지하수 모델링을 통한 온도 예측은 실제 냉난방의 효율성을 결정짓는 수온을 정량적으로 계산할 수 있는 유용한 기술로 평가됨과 더불어, 수자원의 지하 저장을 통해 효율적으로 물을 확보하고 관리할 수 있는 방안이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

암반내 지하수의 흐름은 공학적인 측면에서 중요한 역할을 한다. 지하공간 개발 및 터널건설에 있어서 지하수의 유출은 굴착과 보강공사의 진행을 대단히 어렵게 할 뿐만 아니라 구조물의 안정성에 심각한 문제를 야기시키기도 한다. 이는 다양한 원인에 의해서 생성된 암반내 불연속면의 존재에 기인한다. 불연속 암반의 지하수 유동해석에는 크게 두 가지 접근방식이 사용되어 왔다. (중략)
