Gas hydrates are solid solutions when water molecules are linked through hydrogen bonding and create host lattice cavities that can enclose many kinds of guest(gas) molecules. There are plenty of methane(gas) hydrate in the earth and distributed widely at offshore and permafrost. Several schemes, to produce methane hydrates, have been studied. In this study, depressurization method has been utilized for the numerical model due to it's simplicity and effectiveness. IMPES method has been used for numerical analysis to get the saturation and velocity profile of each phase and pressure profile, velocity of dissociation front progress and the quantity of produced gas. The values calculated for the sample length of 10m, show that methane hydrates has been dissolved completely in approximately 223 minutes and the velocity of dissociation front progress is 3.95㎝ per minute. The volume ratio of the produced gas in the porous media is found to be about 50%. Analysing the saturation profile and the velocity profile from the numerical results, the permeability of each phase in porous media is considered to be the most important factor in the two phase flow propagation. Consequently, permeability strongly influences the productivity of gas in porous media for methane hydrates.

The incomplete saturation and the void formation during the resin infiltration into fibrous porous media in the resin transfer molding process cause failure in the final product during its service. In order to better understand flow behavior during the filling process, a finite-element scheme for transient flow simulation across the micro-structured fibrous media is developed in the present work. A volume-of- fluid (VOF) method has been incorporated in the Eulerian frame to capture the evolution of flow front and the vertical periodic boundary condition has been combined to avoid unwanted wall effect. In the microscale simulation, we investigated the transient filling process in various fiber structures and discussed the mechanism leading to the flow fingering in the case of random fiber distribution. Effects of the filling pressure, the shear-thinning behavior of fluid and the volume fraction on the flow front have been investigated for both intra-tow and the inter-tow flows in dual-scale fiber tow models.

본 연구에서는 ABAQUS(2014)를 이용한 다공질 매체의 혼합유한요소해석에서 요소 간의 분리를 모사할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. ABAQUS에서는 변위과 간극수압(u-p모델)의 자유도를 갖는 혼합유한요소의 분리를 standard(implicit) 버전 상에서 cohesive element와 함께 해석을 제안하지만, 요소 간의 이탈, 강체운동, 접촉 등과 같은 분리현상에 대해서는 경계조건 문제로 수치 해석상 한계가 있다. ABAQUS-explicit 해석에서는 경계조건 문제에 대해 자유롭지만 지금까지의 혼합요소 간의 분리를 제공하고 있지 않다. 그러므로, 본 연구에서는 ABAQUS-explicit 상에서 u-p 모델에 대한 분리를 모사할 수 있는 새로운 접근방법이 제안된다. VUMAT 서브루틴을 통하여 구성모델이 적용되고, 간극수압 변화에 따른 요소의 분리 조건을 판단한다. 그리고 VDISP 서브루틴을 통하여 요소의 분리를 발생시킨다. 이렇게 제안된 알고리즘은 간단한 2차원 다공질 매체 예제를 통하여 구현된다.

Offshore wind farm is being increased since there are much trouble to develop onshore wind farm. But in the offshore, wind turbine wake does not dissipate less than onshore wind turbine because of low turbulence level. Thus this remained wake interacted to other wind turbine. This interaction reduces energy production in wind farm and have a bad influence on fatigue load of wind turbine. In this research, CFD model was constructed to analyze wake effect in offshore wind farm. A method that wind turbine rotor region was modelled in porous media was devised to reduce computation load and validated by comparison with Horns Rev measurement. Then wake interaction between two wind turbine was analyzed by devised porous model.

박막연의 변형은 고분자 전해질 연료전지의 성능에 상당한 영향을 미친다. 탄소공기판의 응력 분포는 고분자 전해질 연료전지의 안정성과 작동 효율의 중요변수이다. 본 논문에서는 작동 조건에서의 공기판과 박막면의 구조해석을 수행하였다. 박막면의 구조적 변형은 연료전지의 변수들의 분포에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 두 가지 모델에 대한 해석을 수행하였다. 한가지는 박막면의 물성치를 비선형으로 가정한 것이고, 나머지 한가지는 박막면의 물성치를 비선형으로 가정하고 공기판과 박막면의 접촉면에 접촉 조건을 적용한 경우이다. 이 두 가지 경우에 대해서 해석해본 결과 각각의 응력과 변형율의 분포에서 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이 결과를 통해 연료전지의 연구에서 비선형 접촉 해석이 필요함을 알 수 있다.

포화된 다공질매체의 수치해석에서는 일반적으로 고체영역과 유체영역을 동시에 고려한 혼합유한요소해석(Mixed Finite Element Analysis)이 쓰인다. 여기서 고체영역과 유체영역에서의 변수를 계산하기 위해서는 직접법(Direct Method) 또는 반복법(Iterative method)을 사용할 수 있으나, 각 구성물질의 상이한 물리적 특성 때문에 수치안정성을 확보하기 위해서는 대부분 스태거드 방법(Staggered method)이 제안된다. 본 논문에서는 수치안정성을 높인 스태거드 방법에서 영역 분할기법 중 하나인 FETI(Finite Element Tearing and Interconnecting)기법을 고체영역에 접목시켜 수치효율성을 증대시키는 방법이 제안되었다. 고체영역에서 라그랑지 승수와 Conjugated Gradient Method를 이용해 영역 분할이 진행되고 MPI(Message Passing Interface) 라이브러리를 사용하여 수치 효율성을 검증하였다.

In the present study, the flow and heat transfer characteristics of a large plate heat exchanger are investigated numerically. The flow passages are very complicated due to the grooved corrugation patterns of the plate surface so that the detailed mesh and the large amount of the computation time have to be required in the numerical simulation for the conjugate heat transfer analysis. In order to accomplish the efficient and fast analysis of the heat transfer characteristics in the plate heat exchanger, a semimicroscopic method using the porous media model has been investigated numerically. The results showed that the characteristics of the heat transfer and pressure drop, which are respectively presented with Colburn j-factor and Fanning f-factor, are in a good agreement between the detailed mesh and the porous media model. The results of the present study could be applicable to the numerical analysis of entire flow passages in the large plate heat exchanger using porous media treatment.

The porous pellets were prepared from porphyry by slurry foaming method. The effect of sintering temperatures on pore structure of porous porphyry pellets with different extension ratio ($E_R$) was investigated by specific surface area, water absorption and porosity, which changed with sintering temperatures. When the sintering temperatures increased from $975^{\circ}C$ to $1075^{\circ}C$, specific surface area and water absorption of the all samples decreased. In case of the sample with an equal sintering temperature, $E_R=3.0$ pellets had little influence on pore structure compared to the $E_R=2.0$ pellets. As a results, it was shown by SEM that facilitated formation of micro pores at $E_R=2.0$ pellets shrunk increasingly after sintering process. At $E_R=3.0$ and sintering temperature at $1025^{\circ}C$, optimum conditions of the porous porphyry porous pellets was found. Also, Escherichia coli removal efficiency of the silver-containing porphoyry porous pellets was measured for the feasibility as a antibacterial media. The antibacterial activity of prepared silver-containing sample was maintained above 90% for 40 days.

Preeminent water treatment plans are essential to preserve the water quality of aquatic biotopes. Previous studies have not been sufficient to provide cost-effective maintenance method since they focused only on the purification of deteriorated water that requires a continuous supply of clean water. This study proposes an economical method of water quality maintenance using water treatment media block constructed vertically using porous ceramics, zeolite, and river pebble. The water treatment media block does not require a separate purification area because it functions as a purifier within the ecological pond which can maximize the biotope area. To evaluate the performance of the water treatment media block, we longitudinally tracked the change of water quality indicators (pH, TDS, COND, DO, T-P, T-N, COD) suggested by Water Environment Standards, Ministry of Environment, Republic of Korea. We compared the water quality of one control (A: general ecological pond composition method of the laminated structure) and two experimental groups (B: a combination of aquatic plants and a water treatment media block, C: a water treatment media block only). As a result, we confirmed that the water treatment media block is an efficient and economical method to maintaining the water quality of the ecological pond for a long time. The water treatment media block will be a great help in providing a better aquatic biotope space for aquatic insects and fishes living in clear water.
