We present in this work a coupled phenomenological chemo-mechanical model that represents the degradation of concrete-like materials. The chemical behaviour is described by the nowadays well known simplified calcium leaching approach. And the mechanical damage behaviour is described by a continuum damage model which involves the gradient of the damage quantity. The coupled nonlinear problem at hand is addressed within the context of the finite element method. For the equation governing the calcium dissolution-diffusion part of the problem, special care is taken to treat the highly nonlinear calcium conductivity and solid calcium functions. The algorithmic design is based on a Newton-type iterative scheme where use is made of a recently proposed relaxed linearization procedure. And for the equation governing the damage part of the problem, an augmented Lagrangian formulation is used to take into account the damage irreversibility constraint. Finally, numerical simulations are compared with experimental results on cement paste.

The one-dimensional finite element program was developed to analyze the coupled behavior of heat, moisture, and air transfer in unsaturated porous media. By using this program, the simulation results were compared with those from the laboratory infiltration tests under isothermal condition and temperature gradient condition, respectively. The discrepancy of water uptake was found in the upper region of a bentonite sample under isothermal condition between numerical simulation and laboratory experiment. This indicated that air pressure was built up in the bentonite sample which could retard the infiltration velocity of liquid. In order to consider the swelling phenomena of compacted bentonite which cause the discrepancy of the distribution of water content and temperature, swelling and shrinkage factors were incorporated into the finite element formulation. It was found that these factors could be effective to represent the moisture diffusivity and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity due to volume change of bentonite sample.

A research was undertaken on the thermal properties and behavior of the conductors in a controlled chamber, which was designed to implement the outdoor air temperature, heat and wind conditions With ACSR $410mm^2$ overhead conductors, we measured the maximum temperature of the conductors and the temperature gradient from the core to the surface regions as a function of current, tension, wind velocity and outdoor air temperature. This test also provided a comparative analysis between the measured temperature values of conductors in the controlled chamber and the theoretical calculations of ANSI/IEEE at normal condition. There was not much influence of tension on the conductor temperature. However, the compactness of conductor wires increased with an increase in tension, which eventually increased the coefficient of effective thermal conductivity and, accordingly the conductor temperature was reduced more or less.

In this study, the performance of artificial neural network (ANN) models for estimating spatial distribution of water quality was evaluated using electric conductivity (EC) values in landfill site. For the ANN model development, feedforward neural networks and backpropagation algorithm with gradient descent method were used. In Test 1, the interpolation ability of the ANN model was evaluated. Results of the ANN model were more precise than those of the Kriging model. In Test 2, spatial distributions of EC values were predicted using precipitation data. Results seemed to be reasonable, however, they showed a limitation of ANN models in extrapolations.

The one of critical factor in gas turbine engine performance is high turbine inlet gas temperature. Therefore, the turbine rotor has so many problems which must be considered such as the turbine blade cooling, thermal stress of turbine disk due to severe temperature gradient, turbine rotor tip clearance, under the high operating temperature. The purpose of this study is to provider the temperature distribution and heat flux in turbine disk which is required to considered premensioned problem by the Finite Difference Method and the Finite Element Methods on the steady state condition. In this study, the optimum aspect ratio of turbine disk was analysed for various heat conductivity of turbine disk material by Finite Difference Method, and the effect of laminating method with high conductivity materials to disk thickness direction by Finite Element Methods in order to cool the disk. The laminating method with high conductivity material on the side of the disk is effective.

An artificial recharge test aimed at investigating transport characteristics of the injected water plume in a fractured rock aquifer was conducted. The test used an injection well for injecting tap water whose temperature and electrical conductivity were different from the groundwater. Temporal and depth-wise variation of temperature and electrical conductivity was monitored in both the injection well and a nearby observation well. A highly permeable fracture zone acting as the major pathway of groundwater flow was distinctively revealed in the monitoring data. A finite element subsurface flow and transport simulator (FEFLOW) was used to investigate sensitivity of the transport process to associated aquifer parameters. Simulated results showed that aperture thickness of the fracture and the hydraulic gradient of groundwater highly affected spatio-temporal variation of temperature and electrical conductivity of the injected water plume. The study suggests that artificial recharge of colder water in a fractured rock aquifer could create a thermal plume persistent over a long period of time depending on hydro-thermal properties of the aquifer as well as the amount of injected water.

본 논문에서는 다공성 매질의 특수율이 비정체형인 경우 대수투수계수-수두 교차공분산에 관한 식을 유도하였으며, 이 교차공분산은 수두분포로부터 특수장의 통계학적 특성을 유추하는데(inverse problem) 매우 중요한 역할을 담당한다. 비정체형 대수투수계수는 일정한 선형경향과 정체형인 미소 변동의 합으로 구성되었으며, 2차원 포화대수층에서 정상 유동문제를 추계학적으로 해석하여 수두분포를 얻었고 이로부터 교차공분산을 유도하였다. 투수계수의 상관함수가 가우스분포를 가지고 그 경향이 수두 경사와 평행이거나 직교하는 두 가지 경우에 대하여 교차공분산을 살펴 본 결과, 투수장의 경향이 주 흐름방향과 평행한 경우 흐름방향 쪽만 제외하고는 정체형임이 밝혀졌다. 또한, 흐름방향과 직교하는 쪽으로의 교차공분산은 정체형 모델 결과와 달리 영이 아님를 알 수 있었다. 따라서 지하수 유동이나 오염물질 확산문제를 다룰 경우, 투수계수장에 어떤 경향이 존재한다고 의심될 때에는 반드시 그 경향을 해석과정에 포함시켜야 한다.

상대습도 데이터를 이용하여 벤토나이트 완충재 블록의 불포화 수리전도도 변화를 평가하였다. 불포화 매질에서의 물의 흐름을 나타내는 일반적인 분석해를 통해 상대습도를 통한 불포화 수리전도도 계산방안을 도출하였고, 이를 실제 수행한 실내 물 유입 실험 결과에 적용하여 포화가 진행됨에 따라 변화하는 완충재 불포화 수리전도도 양상을 확인하였다. 일반적인 포화 상태와는 확연히 다르게 수두 구배와 물의 유출량이 시간에 따라 불규칙하게 변화하는 결과를 나타냈으며, 벤토나이트 완충재의 불포화 수리전도도는 시간에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 수분 흡수로 인한 벤토나이트 입자 팽창 때문으로 인한 매질 내 공극의 부피 및 크기 확대가 불포화 수리전도도값의 증가를 야기하는 것으로 판단되었고, 이러한 결과는 완충재 블록의 팽창 정도와 수리전도도의 상관성에 관한 추후 연구의 필요성을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 수행된 불포화 수리전도도 평가 방안은 방사성폐기물 처분 시 완충재의 장기적인 수리학적 성능평가에 유용한 기술로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

A buoyant jet flow impinging on a circular cylinder is investigated including heat conduction through the cylinder. Temperature and flow fields are obtained by an iterative method, and the effects of the non-uniform wall temperature on the flow and heat transfer are analyzed. Effects of three-dimensionality and the traversing of the jet are also included. Nusselt number over the cylinder surface for the conjugate case is relatively small as compared with the constant wall temperature case due to the small temperature gradient. As the conductivity of the cylinder becomes lower, Nusselt number decreases due to the reduced temperature gradient. Increasing jet traversing speed causes the surface temperature of the cylinder to decrease, which increases local Nusselt number over the surface.

In general, the booming noise intensity at tunnel exit is strongly related to the gradient of the compression wave front created by high speed train entering the tunnel. This paper presents some results in relation with the compression wave front produced when the high speed train enters a tunnel. Four kinds of tunnel entrance shape with real dimensions were studied to investigate the formation of compression wave front inside tunnel by train entering tunnel. Computations were carried out using three-dimensional compressible Euler equation with vanishing viscosity and conductivity of fluid. According to the results, the flow disturbances occured at tunnel entrance were eliminated by tunnel hood with same cross sectional area. The compression wave front is formed completely at 30-40m from tunnel entrance. The maximum pressure gradient of compression wave front is reduced by 29.8% for the inclined tunnel hood and reduced by 21.5% for the tunnel hood with holes at the top face with tunnel without hood. The length of the inclined hood is 15m and the length of the hood with holes is 20m.
