Freshwater may be injected into aquifers to combat sea water intrusion in groundwater or to store water for later retrieval. For these cases to achieve the desired goal groundwater modeling is commonly used to determine locations and rates of injection wells. When these wells are connected to a pipe network, a flow control valve is installed for each well to regulate the injection rate. When a valve opening is modified, pressure changes in the entire pipe network and thereby changes flow rates in other wells. Therefore, desired valve openings must be determined for all injection wells. The pipe flow analysis allows estimation of the minimum pump power in addition to valve openings. Methods are developed to identify valve openings for multiple wells and the minimum pump power. The methodology developed in this work can contribute to precise operation of multiple injection wells.

A FORTRAN program was developed to determine the optimal locations of multiple recharge wells in an aquifer with different arrangements of pumping wells. The simulated annealing algorithm was used to find optimal locations of two recharge wells which satisfied three objective functions. The model results show that locating two injection wells inside the cluster of pumping wells is efficient if the recovery rate only was taken into account. In contrast, placing injection wells to the side of the cluster is desirable if the simulation considers aggregate objective function. Therefore, installing an injection well on each side of the cluster seems to yield the maximum recovery rates for the existing pumping wells, and it yields similar increases in pumping rate for all wells in the cluster. The locations of recharge wells can be arranged in numerous configurations, because there are multiple near-optimal local minima or maxima. These results indicate that the simulated annealing can yield effective evaluations of the optimal locations of multiple recharge wells. In addition, the suggested aggregate objective function can be utilized as an appropriate multi-objective optimization.

In general, the estimation of optimum yield for the radial collector well is determined by the empirical equation or numerical modeling, in which hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer is a main influence factor. Hydraulic conductivities of 164 soil samples collected from boreholes and horizontal wells (average length: about 50 m) installed during well construction in the Anseong stream were drawn in two-dimensional map by the Kriging method and utilized in this study. Hydraulic conductivity analyses by Representative Elementary Count (REC) indicated the average hydraulic conductivity is similar to that of the pumping test when the number of samples reaches about 1,000, which correspond to 1,000 ㎡. Pumping test was also conducted at 1 pumping well and 13 observation wells to estimate hydraulic conductivities at each observation well. REC analysis indicated that the average value of hydraulic conductivity calculated from at least four observation wells is valid as a representative value. The overall result suggested that multiple observation wells or multiple pumping-observation well systems that are located within the range of horizontal wells should be utilized to properly estimate the representative hydraulic conductivity values and the yield of a radial collector well.

River bank filtration techniques seek to improve river water quality via natural processes occurring when river water is induced to a river bank. When water is pumped from multiple wells, phenomenon known as well interference affect pumping rates. Pumping wells of a bank filtration facility are connected by pipelines. In theses cases well interference is caused not only by groundwater drawdown but also by pipe headloss which depend on flow rates. In this work a comprehensive analytical method which handles groundwater flow and pipe flow is used to evaluate interferences and ratios of river water in pumping wells. A realistic case was used as an example.

Electron intersubband absorption in Sb $\delta$-doped Si(110)/SiGe multiple quantum well structures is observed. Normally incident light can excite electrons in Si(110) quantum wells, which is not possible for Si(001) or GaAs quantum wells. The influence of Ge composition in SiGe barries is investigated. As the Ge composition in SiGe barriers increases, the absorption strength is decreased and the transition energy is increased. It is verifired by comparing the calculated and experimental results obtained at various incident and polarization angles that normally incident light and parallel incident light are absorbed in different processes.

InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) were grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition and their structural and optical properties were studied. When the average In content was increased by increasing TMIn flow rate, PL measurement showed little change in PL peak position and large increase in PL intensity instead. Large changes in PL peak position could be achieved by changing growth temperature. We propose the formation of fixed In content, highly In-rich quantum dot-like phases in InGaN MQWs driven by spinodal decomposition.

In the WKB analysis, we propose the new forms of the trial eigenfunctions which not only converge at the turning points but also approximate to the conventional WKB solutions away from the turning points. The eigenvalue equation of multiple waveguides with graded index profile are derived by using the proposed WKB analysis and the transfer matrix method. The drived equation sare represented in the recursive form. The results of the eigenvalue equation sare comapred with those of the FDM, one of the well-known computational methods, for a three-waveguide coupler.

Lattice-matched InAIAs epilayers were grown on (001) InP substrate by low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The effects of growth conditions on the properties of InAIAs were analyzed, and InGaAs/InAIAs single and multiple quantum wells were successfully grown. It was observed that the optical property of InAIAs epilayers was improved in the temperature range of 620~$700^{\circ}C$ as the growth temperature increased due to the reduction of oxygen incorporation, however, the crystallinity decreased at temperatures higher than $750^{\circ}C$ due to the degraded crystallinity of the bufter layers. The enhanced incorporation of AI into epilayer was observed at high $AsH_3$flow rates and it was explained in terms of the differences in bond strengths of AI-As and In-As. The measured photoluminescence peak energies from InGaAs/InAIAs single quantum wells were consistent with the calculated ones based on transfer matrix method. High-order satellite peaks and fine thickness fringes were observed by high-resolution x-ray diffraction, implying that the high-quality multiple quantum wells with abrupt heterointerfaces were grown.
