In this paper, solute transport in heterogeneous aquifers using a modified Fokker-Planck equation (MFPE) is investigated. This newly developed mathematical model is characterised with a time-, scale-dependent dispersivity. A two-dimensional finite volume quadrilateral mesh method (FVQMM) based on a quadrilateral background interpolation mesh is developed for analysing the model. The FVQMM transforms the coupled non-linear partial differential equations into a system of differential equations, which is solved using backward differentiation formulae of order one through five in order to advance the solution in time. Three examples are presented to demonstrate the model verification and utility. Henry's classic benchmark problem is used to show that the MFPE captures significant features of transport phenomena in heterogeneous porous media including enhanced transport of salt in the upper layer due to its parameters that represent the dependence of transport processes on scale and time. The time and scale effects are investigated. Numerical results are compared with published results on the some problems.

The performance and durability of Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells (PEFCs) are strongly influenced by the uniformity of current density, temperature, species distributions inside a cell In order to obtain uniform distributions in them, the optimal design of flowfield must be a key factor. In this paper, the numerical study of land/channel flowfield optimizations is performed, using a multi-dimensional, multi-phase, non-isothermal PEFC model. Numerical simulations reveal more uniform current density and HFR(High Frequency Resistance) distributions and thus better PEFC performance with narrower land/channel width where the less severe oxygen depletion effect near the land region and more uniform contact resistance variation along the in-plane direction are achieved. The present study elucidates detailed effects of land/channel width and assist in identifying optimal flow-field design strategies for the operation of PEFCs.

Liquid crystal displays (LCD's) are continuously coated with some chemicals in the clean room of a factory. Spreading of these chemicals is causing serious problems both in controlling clean room quality as well as to the workers inside the factory. It is required to alleviate or properly control the offensive odor which is mainly composed of propylene glycol mono ethyl acetate, novolak resin and photo active compound. The control strategy employed is to bleed the offensive odor gas out the clean room. A full scale 3D CFD model was created with anisotropic porous media, chemical species transport with no volumetric reaction, and thermal diffusion with propane gas (tracer gas) to simulate the odor spreading. A segregated implicit solver with standard k-$\varepsilon$ model is employed. The detailed CFD analysis made it possible to develop an effective method of ventilating the coater room and optimizing their capacities.

3단형 과학로켓의 주엔진 추진제의 분사균일성에 대하여 수치해석을 수행하고 설계 개선안을 도출하였다. 분사기 유로는 동일한 압력강하를 가지는 다공성 매질로 처리하였다. 산화제와 연료 모두 공급 유로의 반대쪽에서 분사속도가 높은 것으로 예측되었으며 이는 유동정체에 따른 정압 상승에 기인한다. 산화제 매니폴드 내부의 수직분리판에 유로를 구성함으로써 매니폴드 중심과 외곽에서의 분사균일성을 향상시킬 수 있었다. 산화제 공급유로가 경사를 가지더라도 분사균일성과 압력손실에 미치는 영향은 거의 없었다. 또한 산화제/ 연료에 대한 분사속도로부터 혼합비의 분포를 예측하였다.

A computational fluid dynamics model for predicting moderator circulation inside the Canada deuterium uranium (CANDU) reactor vessel has been developed to estimate the local subcooling of the moderator in the vicinity of the calandria tubes. The buoyancy effect induced by the internal heating is accounted for by the Boussinesq approximation. The standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model with logarithmic wall treatment is applied to predict the turbulent jet flows from the inlet nozzles. The matrix of the calandria tubes in the core region is simplified to a porous media in which the anisotropic hydraulic impedance is modeled using an empirical correlation of pressure loss. The governing equations are solved by DFX-4.4, a commercial CFD code developed by AEA technology. The resultant flow patterns of the constant-z slices containing the inlet nozzles and the outlet port are "mined-type", as observed in the former 2-dimensional experimental investigations. With 103% full power for conservatism, the maximum temperature of the moderator is $82.9^{\circ}C$ at the top of the core region. Considering the hydrostatic pressure change, the minimum subcooling is $24.8^{\circ}C$.

Richards식을 해석하려면 토양의 수리특성인 물보유함수와 비포화투수계수에 대한 자료가 필요하다. SCS에서 구분한 토양군중 A, B, C에 해당한다고 판단되는 토양시료를 채취하여 각 토양군별로 본 연구에서 개발한 장치를 이용하여 물보유함수를 측정하였고, 또한 정수두법으로 포화투수계수를 측정하였다. 각 토양군을 대표할 수 있는 하나의 물보유함수와 비포화투수계수를 산정하기 위하여 van Genuchten의 물보유함수와 Mualem의 투수계수예측모형을 이용하였다. 각 토양군별로 실측된 자료를 이용하여 van Genuchten식의 매개변수를 추정한 값을 제시하였고, 그와 같은 자료는 미실측지역에서 비포화흐름을 해석하고자할 때 하나의 기준으로 사용될 수 있다.

It is important to uniformly supply the fuel gas into the reaction activity area in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Recent studies have shown that the cell performance can be significantly improved by employing metal foam gas distributor as compared with the conventional bipolar plate types. The metal foam gas distributor has been reported to be more efficient to fuel transport. In this study, three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations have been performed to examine the effects of metal foam flow field design on the fuel supply to the reaction site. Darcy's law is used for the flow in the porous media. By solving additional advection equation for fluid particle trajectory, the gas transport has been visualized and examined for various geometrical configuration of metal foam gas distributor.

A numerical parametric study has been accomplished to figure out the effect of grille shape built in a small passenger car on the aerodynamic performance such as drag and mass flow rate through CRFM(Condenser Radiator Fan Module). Three grille opening parameters and three grille mesh parameters are selected and adopted to a simple shape passenger car model. This research will provide a design guideline for grille opening geometry and mesh shape in the grille. FLUENT, which is very well known commercial code, hires k-${\epsilon}$ turbulence model at the driving speed of 110km/h with moving wall boundary condition. A porous media condition is prepared to estimate the pressure drop amount through CRFM parts.

Fuel assembly (FA) bow in pressurized water reactor (PWR) cores is considered to be a complex process with a large number of influencing mechanisms and several unknowns. Uncertainty and sensitivity analyses are a common way to assess the predictability of such complex phenomena. To perform such analyses, a structural model of a row of 15 FAs in the reactor core is implemented with the finite-element code ANSYS Mechanical APDL. The distribution of lateral hydraulic forces within the core row is estimated based on a two-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics model with porous media, assuming symmetric or asymmetric core inlet and outlet flow profiles. The influence of the creep rate on the bow amplitude is tested based on different creep models for guide tubes and fuel rods. Different FA initial states are considered: fresh FAs or FAs with higher burnup, which may be initially straight or exhibit an initial bow from previous cycles. The simulation results over one reactor cycle demonstrate that changes in the creep rate and the hydraulic conditions may have a considerable impact on the bow amplitudes and the bow patterns. A good knowledge of the specific creep behavior and the hydraulic conditions is therefore crucial for making reliable predictions.

불포화지역의 유기화합물을 제거하기위해 지하수 흐름 해석해를 토양 진공추출 설계에 적용시켰다. 토양 공극 속의 가스 밀도가 압력에 따라 달라지므로 가스나 증기의 흐름을 지배하는 방정식은 비선형이다. 선행 연구자 의해 선형화된 방정식은 지하수 흐름의 지배방정식과 유사하다. 압력대수층과 누수대수층의 압력강하량에 대해서 Massmann의 자료를 이용하여 비교하였다. 압력대수층에 대해서는 Massmann에 의해 제시된 Theis의 해를 수정하였으며 Theis의 해를 검증하기 위해 GASSOLVE9의 프로그램을 이용하였다. Hantush의 해석해를 이용하여 누수대수층 구조에 대해서 압력 강하량을 계산하여 Massmann의 해와 비교하였다. 그 결과 압력강하량에 대해 근사적인 결과를 얻었다.
