  • Resolved simulations are presented fur gravity current flows aiming at studying their spreading rate. The simulations are performed for two extreme configurations such as planar and cylindrical and for 3 different Grashof numbers: $10^5,\;1{\times}10^6\;and\;10^7$. Varying the size of the heavy fluid release, the study is performed for several phases of spreading, namely acceleration, slumping and inertial phases. For the simulations, efficient spectral multi-domain code is used. From the simulations results it is concluded that 2-D results predicts well the mean front velocity during the slumping phase, but fails to predict it during the inertial phase of spreading. It is also observed that the vortex dynamics of the flow is not reproduced well by the 2-D simulation.

  • A new dispersion model for dense gas is constructed in the Lagrangian framework. Prediction of concentration by the proposed model is compared with measure data obtained in the experiment conducted in Thorney Island in 1984. Two major effects of dense gas dispersion, gravity slumping and stratification effect, are successfully incorporated into LDM (Lagrangian dense gas model). Entrainment effect is naturally modelled by introducing stochastic dispersion model with the effect of turbulence suppression by stratification. Not only various releasing conditions but also complex terrain can be extended to, although proposed model is appropriate for flat terrain.

  • A new model for dense gas dispersion is formulated within the Lagrangian framework. In several accidental released situations, denser-than-air vapour clouds are formed which exhibit dispersion behavior markedly different from that observed for passive atmospheric pollutants. For relevant prediction of dense gas dispersion, the gravity and entrainment effects need to implemented. The model deals with negative buoyancy which is affected by gravity. Also, the model is subjected to entrainment. The mean downward motion of each particle was accounted for by considering the Langevin equation with buoyancy correction term.

  • 중력류 또는 밀도류는 주변 유체에 비해 상대적으로 밀도가 큰 유체가 밀도차에 의한 추진력으로 흐르는 것이다. 중력류의 수치모델링에는 두 가지 어려움이 있다. 즉, 적합한 지배방정식을 구성하여 적용하는 것 그리고 난류의 영향을 합리적으로 반영하는 것이다. 기존 중력류 해석을 위한 지배방정식들은 유체의 연속방정식과 운동량 방정식 그리고 밀도 또는 농도의 이송방정식을 조합하여 구성된다. 이들 지배방정식을 이용한 연구들은 대부분 두 유체 사이의 밀도차가 충분히 작아서 밀도 변동(variations)의 영향은 오로지 부력항에서만 유지된다는 Boussinesq 근사에 근거를 둔다. 그리고 이송방정식에서 밀도 또는 농도의 확산계수을 점성계수의 함수로 표현하기 위해서 Schmidt 수를 이용한다. 수치모델링에서 Schimdt 수는 상수값을 적용하지만, 이 값은 밀도의 연직방향 경사에 근거한 부력빈도(buoyancy frequency)와 난류량의 따라 큰 차이를 보이는 것으로 알려져있다. 한편, 표준 통계학적 난류모델과 벽함수를 적용한 수치모델링은 초기 중력에 의해서 무너지는(slumping) 단계를 넘어 관성력으로 추진되는 단계와 점성 효과가 지배적인 단계에서는 정확도에 현저히 낮아지기 때문에 대부분 큰와모의(large-eddy simulation, LES) 또는 DNS(direct numerical simulation)수준의 고해상도(high-resolution) 해석기법을 적용하여 공학적인 문제에 적용하는 데는 한계가 있다. 이 연구에서는 Boussinesq 근사와 Schmidt 수를 사용하지 않으며, LES 보다 적용이 용이한 DES (detached-eddy simulation)기법을 조합한 다상흐름 수치모델을 적용하여 중력류를 해석을 시도하였다. 수치해석결과를 실험값과 함께 기존 수치모델링 기법으로 구한 수치해와 비교분석하여 이 연구에서 개발 및 적용된 수치모델링 기법의 적용성을 평가한다.

  • Macheon Layered Intrusion (MLI) which intruded into Precambrian gneiss complex of the northern Jirisan area, southeastern part of Youngnam (or Sobaeksan) Massif, is a layered mafic-ultramafic complex of Triassic age (ca. 223 Ma). The MLI is divided into Layered Series and Laminated Series. Layered Series is subdivided into Central Zone (Lower Zone) consisting of olivine gabbros and Peripheral Zone (Middle or Upper Zone) consisting of hornblende gabbros based on the type of cumulus texture and the main mafic phase. The Central Zone of Layered Series comprises thinly laminated olivine gabbros and uniform or thickly laminated coarse olivine gabbros which consist of mela-gabbro, troctolite, leuco-troctolite, and anorthositic rocks. Laminated Series is also subdivided into quartz-bearing biotite-pyroxene gabbros and homblende diorite and both have variable amount of interstitial quartz and microcline. Laminated series display moderately to slightly developed igneous lamination which is defined by the planar alignment of lath-shape plagioclases. Chilled margin of quartz-bearing biotite-pyroxene gabbro with surrounding Precambrian gneisses insists shallower intrusion of more felsic cognate magma evolved in the deep a little later. Rocks of Layered Series have orthocumulus to adcumulus olivine, adcumulus to intercumulus plagioclase, and intercumulus to heteradcumulus pyroxene and hornblende. Magmatic modally grading, folding, and cross-lamination are not rarely occurred in thinly layered rocks. These textural characteristics define main mechanisms of the formation of layered and laminated structure in mafic-ultramafic rocks of Macheon Layered Intrusion are gravity settling and in-situ crystallization associated with slumping and density current.
