The formation of silicon-on-nothing (SON) structure during an annealing process from the silicon substrate including the trench structures has been considered as an effective technique to construct the structure that has an empty space under the closed flat surface. Previous studies have demonstrated the mechanism of the formation of SON structure, which is based on the surface diffusion driven by the minimization of their surface energy. Also, it has been fragmentarily shown that the morphology of SON structure can be affected by the initial design of trench (e.g., size, number) and the annealing conditions (e.g., temperature, pressure). Based on the previous studies, here, we report a comprehensive study for the design of the cavity-embedded structure (i.e., SON structure). To do this, a dynamic model has been developed with the phase field approach. The simulation results represent that the morphology of SON structures could be detailedly designed, for example the position and thickness of cavity, the thickness of top and bottom layer, according to the design parameters. This study will give us an advantage in the effective design of SON structures.

Piezoelectric energy harvesting technology is attracting attention, as it can be used to convert more accessible mechanical energy resources to periodic electricity. Recent developments in the field of piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEHs) are associated with nanocomposites made from inorganic piezoelectric nanomaterials and organic elastomers. Here, we used the $BaTiO_3$ nanoparticles and piezoelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) polymeric matrix to fabricate the nanocomposites-based PEH to improve the output performance of PEHs. The piezoelectric nanocomposite is produced by dispersing the inorganic piezo-ceramic nanoparticles inside an organic piezo-polymer and subsequently spin-coat it onto a metal plate. The fabricated organic-inorganic piezoelectric nanocomposite-based PEH harvested the output voltage of ~1.5 V and current signals of ~90 nA under repeated mechanical pushings: these values are compared to those of energy devices made from non-piezoelectric polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomers and supported by a multiphysics simulation software.

This study shows the feasibility of the parameter of the 1st RC parallel equivalent circuit as a factor of the heat generation of lithium-ion cell. The internal resistance of a lithium-ion cell consists of ohmic and polarization resistances. The internal resistances at various SOCs of the lithium-ion cell are obtained via an electrical characteristic test. The internal resistance is inversely obtained through the amount of heat generated during the experiment. By comparing the resistances obtained using the two methods, the summation of ohmic and polarization resistances is identified as the heating factor of lithium-ion battery. Finally, the amounts of heat generated from the 2C, 3C, and 4C-rate discharge experiments and the COMSOL multiphysics simulation using the summation of ohmic and polarization resistances as the heating parameter are compared. The comparison shows the feasibility of the electrical parameters of the 1st RC parallel equivalent circuit as the heating factor.

Double-layer capacitors (DLCs) are developed with high surface electrodes to achieve a high capacitance value. In the present work, the initial bulk concentration of 1 mol/m³ and 3 mol /m³ are selected to show the consequential effects on the performance of a double-layer capacitor. A 1D model of COMSOL Multiphysics has been developed to analyze the electric field and potential in cell voltage, the electric displacement field and polarization induced by the field, and energy density in a double-layer structure. The electrostatics and the electric circuit modes in COMSOL are used to simulate the electrochemical processes in the double-layer structure. The analytical analysis of a double-layer capacitor with different initial bulk concentrations is investigated by using Poisson-Nernst-Plank equations. From the simulation results, the differential capacitance changes as a function of compact layer thickness and initial bulk concentration. The energy density varies with the differential capacitance and voltage window. The values of energy density are dominated by the interaction of ions in the solution and electrode surface.

APro, developed in KAERI for the process-based total system performance assessment (TSPA) of deep geological disposal systems, performs finite element method (FEM)-based multiphysics analysis. In the FEM-based analysis, the mesh element quality influences the numerical solution accuracy, memory requirement, and computation time. Therefore, an appropriate mesh structure should be constructed before the mesh stability analysis to achieve an accurate and efficient process-based TSPA. A generic reference case of DECOVALEX-2023 Task F, which has been proposed for simulating stationary groundwater flow and time-dependent conservative transport of two tracers, was used in this study for mesh stability analysis. The relative differences in tracer concentration varying mesh structures were determined by comparing with the results for the finest mesh structure. For calculation efficiency, the memory requirements and computation time were compared. Based on the mesh stability analysis, an approach based on adaptive mesh refinement was developed to resolve the error in the early stage of the simulation time-period. It was observed that the relative difference in the tracer concentration significantly decreased with high calculation efficiency.

최근 하천 횡단구조물로 형성된 호소 및 저수지에는 오랜 시간동안 다양한 유기 퇴적물이 유입되고 오염되어 호소환경 및 호소 생태계에 악영향을 미칠 수 있으며, 환경 여건에 따라 메탄과 온실가스를 유발할 수도 있다. 이러한 온실가스를 검출하고 그 원인을 파악하여 감축하는 일련의 기술이 국가적인 온실가스 감축 정책과 맞물려 새로운 이슈로 등장하였다. 일반적으로 메탄가스를 측정하는 실험은 BMP(Biochemical Methane Potential)-Test이며, 수치모의에 비해 BMP-Test는 수심이 깊은 지역이나 유속이 빠른 구역에는 적용이 어려운 한계가 존재한다. 이러한 BMP-Test의 한계점을 보완하는 차원에서 사전검증된 수치모형 COMSOL Multiphysics 소프트웨어를 이용하여 메탄가스 발생기작을 재현 및 도출하고 실내 실험결과와 비교 분석하였다. 첫째, COMSOL Multiphysics가 호소에서 발생하는 메탄가스 발생기작의 재현 타당성을 입증하기 위해 동일한 조건의 인공합성된 유기물을 이용한 실내 실험에서 수행된 BMP-Test와 비교·분석을 수행하였다. 둘째, COMSOL Multiphysics에 TOC(총유기탄소), TP(총 인)에 따른 유기물 조건과 메탄 발생 화학식을 설정하여 온도에 따른 메탄 생성량과 반응상수를 산출하였고, 이를 BMP-Test 결과와 비교하였다. BMP-Test의 비교·분석 결과를 바탕으로 하천 및 호소에서 발생하는 메탄가스 발생에 대한 COMSOL Multiphysics의 활용가능성을 검증하였다. 향후 하천 및 호소로부터의 발생가능한 온실가스 감축 목표를 달성하기 위한 하천 유기물 환경의 평가 또는 최적화 조성에 유사한 검증과정을 거친 COMSOL Multiphysics를 활용할 수 있을 거라 기대된다.

섭입 및 열개와 같이 대변형을 수반하는 지구동역학적 현상 발생은 암석권의 국지적인 약대의 발달이 필요하다. 이러한 약화 기작 중 하나인 전단열은 암석권의 온도를 국부적으로 높여 강도를 낮추는 역할을 하여 암석권 파괴를 촉진시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 전단열에 대한 정량적인 분석을 위하여 2차원 탄소성 인장 분지 모형을 제작하여 기존 수치 모사 연구를 벤치마크하였다. 암석권의 항복강도, 인장 속도, 변형량- 및 온도-의존성 약화 현상 등을 조절하여 전단열 발생량에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 약화를 고려하지 않은 경우 전단열의 발생량은 암석권의 항복강도 및 인장 속도와 양의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 기준 모형인 항복강도 100 MPa, 인장 속도 2 cm/yr로 설정된 경우, 총 20 km 인장된 시점(0.025의 변형률)에서 ~ 50 K의 온도 상승을 보여주었다. 소성 변형 및 온도에 따른 약화가 포함된 경우에는, 더 효율적인 약화 기작이 더 강한 전단열의 생성으로 이어지는데 이러한 현상은 약화 기작과 전단열 발생 사이에 양성되먹임이 작용함을 지시한다. 또한 변형 초기에 급격한 전단열 발생량을 보여주지만, 변형이 지속되어 암석권의 강도가 약화되면 전단열 발생 속도가 최대 ~ 80% 감소했다. 이는 약화 기작이 포함된 경우 전단열은 비교적 손상되지 않은 상태인 암석권의 강도에 큰 영향을 미침을 시사한다.

In this paper, we studied the effects of intersection angles of the flow-foucusing type droplet generation device inlet channel on droplet diameter using numerical simulation modeling. We modeled different intersection angles with a fixed continuous channel width, dispersed channels width, orifices width, and expansion channels width. Numerical simulations were performed using COMSOL Multiphysics$^{(R)}$ to solve the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for a two-phase flow in various flow-focusing geometries. Modeling results showed that an increase of the intersection angle causes an increase in the modification of the dispersed flow rate ($v^{\prime}{_d}$), and the increase of the modification of the continuous flow rate ($v^{\prime}{_c}$) obstructs the dispersed phase fluid flow, thereby reducing the droplet diameter. However, the droplet diameter did not decrease, even when the intersection angle increased. The droplet diameter decreased when the intersection angle was less than $90^{\circ}$, increased at an intersection angle of $90^{\circ}$, and decreased when the intersection angle was more than $90^{\circ}$. Furthermore, when the intermediate energy deceased, there was a decrease in the droplet diameter when the intersection angle increased. Therefore, variations in the droplet diameter can be used to change the intersection angle and fluid flow rate.
