The Tonpilz transducer was implemented using the structural module of COMSOL which is a FEM simulation tool. In order to compare the sound pressure characteristics of the transducer with the simulated results, the spacial distribution of the sound pressure level (SPL) was simulated by the acoustic module of COMSOL and then compared with the SPL distribution measured by a microphone. As a result, the resonance frequency and the peak in SPL for the simulation were predicted to be 28 kHz and 163.5 dB, respectively. And the resonance frequency and the peak in SPL for the actual transducer were measured to be 28.84 kHz and 137.8 dB, respectively. It is also confirmed that the simulated SPL distribution and the actually measured one are formed in a similar pattern.

Membrane distillation (MD) is a separation process which higher vapor pressure components are evaporated in mixed liquid solution through hydrophobic membrane with 0.1 or $0.5{\mu}m$ pore size. In this study, direct contact membrane distillation process for hollow fiber module were interpreted numerically using the "COMSOL Multiphysics" software. The variables for the system were temperatures and flow rates of lumen and shell side solutions. The permeate flux increased from 1.0 to $3.8L/m^2{\cdot}hr$ as temperature of the feed solution for lumen increased from 30 to $50^{\circ}C$. However the effect of shell solution temperature on permeate flux was relatively low. Also, the optimum velocity of lumen feed was obtained at 0.15 m/s ($Re_L=135$) by considering MD permeate flux as well as operating pressure loss.

As the spacer in the membrane module provide the channel space to flow the feed solution smoothly and induce the flow turbulence, it could help to reduce both the concentration polarization and to take the long-term operation of membrane modules with high permeate flux by mixing the accumulated contaminants on the membrane surface into the bulk solution. In this study, the concentration distribution in membrane module with respect to the spacers which have the cross-sectional shapes of circle, cross, diamond and hexagon, the angles of spacer configuration, solute rejection and permeate flux were interpreted and optimized numerically using the "COMSOL Multiphysics" software. The concentration on the membrane surface was kept the lowest level for the cross-shape among the above four types of spacers. Also the 30 degree spacer configuration was showed as the most efficient case. The concentrations on the membrane surface at the module outlet for without spacer and the cross shape with the 30 degree spacer configuration were 2.09 and 1.29 times higher than those at inlet, respectively. The reduction effect of concentration polarization increased rapidly as the permeate flux increased.

최근 기후변화로 인한 집중호우의 영향으로 홍수 시 댐으로의 유입량이 설계 당시보다 증가하여 댐의 안전성 확보가 필요하다(감사원, 2003). 이에 건설교통부(2003)는 기후변화와 댐 노후화에 대비하여 치수능력증대사업을 추진하여 댐의 홍수배제능력을 확보하였고, 환경부(2020)에서는 40년 이상 경과된 댐을 대상으로 스마트 안전관리체계 구축을 통한 선제적 보수보강, 성능개선 및 자산관리로 댐의 장수명화를 목적으로 댐의 국가안전대진단을 추진하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 댐 시설(여수로)의 노후도 평가 시 활용 될 수 있는 여수로 표면손상 원인규명에 대하여 3차원 수치모형(FLOW-3D 및 COMSOL Multiphysics)을 통해 검토하고자 한다. 연구대상 댐은 𐩒𐩒댐으로 지형 및 여수로를 구축하였으며, 계획방류량(200년 빈도) 및 최대방류량(PMF) 조건에서 모의를 수행하였다. 수치모의 계산의 정확도 검토를 위하여 Baffle의 설치를 통하여 시간에 따른 유량의 변화를 설계 값과 비교하였고 오차가 1.0% 이내를 만족하는 것을 확인하였다. 여수로 표면손상의 다양한 원인 중 기존연구(USBR, 2019)를 통하여 공동침식(Cavitation Erosion) 및 수력잭킹(Hydraulic Jacking)에 초점을 두었으며 방류조건 별 공동지수(Cavitation Index)산정을 통하여 공동침식 위험 구간을 확인하였다. 이음부의 균열 및 공동으로 인한 표층부 콘크리트의 탈락현상을 가속화시키는 수력잭킹 검토를 위하여 국부모형을 구축하였고 음압력(Negative Pressure), 정체압력(Stagnation Pressure), 양압력(Uplift Pressure)의 분포를 확인하였다. 최종적으로 COMSOL Multiphysics를 통하여 압력분포에 따른 구조해석을 수행하여 폰 미세스(Von Mises) 등가응력 및 변위를 검토하여 콘크리트의 탈락가능성을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 여수로 공동부 및 균열부에서의 손상메커니즘을 확인할 수 있는 기초적인 연구이지만 향후에는 다양한 지형조건 및 흐름조건에서의 압력분포 분석 및 유체-구조물 상호작용(Fluid-Structure Interaction, FSI)모의를 수행한다면 구조물 노후도 및 잔존수명 평가에 필요한 손상한계함수 도출이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

In this work, we discuss simulation of surface acoustic wave device using Comsol Multiphysics. The structure SAW device based on piezoelectric thin film aluminum-nitride (AlN) on silicon was simulated. Some parameters of SAW device such as surface velocity, displacement of piezoelectric thin film were evaluated by software. Many modes and shapes of wave are also discussed in this paper. For evaluation physical parameters of AlN piezoelectric layer, the SAW resonator was modeled and simulation results were also compared with experiment results. we simulated arid evaluated the surface Rayleigh wave of AlN thin film on silicon substrate. Results simulation and experiment showed the surface velocity of AlN thin film was about 5200 m/s and shape of surface wave was also displayed. This paper has also proposed as method to study SAW characteristic of piezoelectric thin film and found out measurement values accurately of film such as stiffness matrix, piezoelectric matrix. These values are very important in calculation and design SAW device or MEMS device based on AlN piezoelectric layer.

In this paper, the pumping performance of a piezoelectric valveless micropump is simulated with a commercial finite element analysis software, COMSOL Multiphysics. The micropump developed in the previous work is composed of a 4-layer lightweight piezo-composite actuator (LIPCA), a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) pump chamber, and two diffusers. The piezoelectric domain, structural domain and fluid domain are coupled in the simulation. Water flow rates are numerically predicted for geometric parameters of the micropump. Based on this study, the micropump is optimally designed to obtain its highest pumping performance.
