기존의 멀티스케일 유한요소법(Multiscale finite element, FE² )은 거시 스케일의 모든 적분점에서 대표 체적요소(representative volume element, RVE)의 미시 경계치 문제를 반복적으로 계산하기 때문에 긴 해석 시간과 많은 데이터 저장 공간을 필요로 한다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서 평균장 균질화 데이터 기반 멀티스케일 해석 기법을 개발하였다. 데이터 기반 전산역학(data-driven computational mechanics, DDCM) 해석은 변형률-응력 데이터 셋을 직접적으로 사용하는 모델-프리(model-free)접근 방식이다. 멀티스케일 해석을 수행하기 위해, 평균장 균질화(mean-field homogenization)를 활용하여 복합재의 미세구조에 대한 변형률-응력 데이터베이스(database)를 효율적으로 구축하고, 이를 기반으로 데이터 기반 전산역학 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 본 논문에서는 개발한 멀티 스케일 해석 프레임워크(framework)를 예제에 적용하여, 초탄성(hyperelasticity) 복합재의 미세 구조를 고려한 데이터 기반 전산역학 시뮬레이션 결과를 확인하였다. 따라서, 데이터 기반 전산역학 접근 방식을 활용한 멀티스케일 해석기법은 다양한 재료 및 구조에 적용될 수 있으며, 멀티스케일 해석 연구 및 응용 가능성을 열어줄 것으로 기대된다.

일반적으로 주조품은 복잡한 형상을 가지고 있고, 한 제품 내에서 두께의 차이가 현저하게 나는 경우가 있어 시뮬레이션을 위한 격자를 생성할 때 어려움이 있다. 주조 유동은 이상유동으로 수치해석을 할 때 공기와 용탕의 경계면을 추적해야하며 밀도차에 의한 압력장 계산에 많은 시간이 소요된다. 이와 같은 이유로 주조유동해석에는 직교격자가 주로 이용되어왔다. 그러나 직교격자는 형상을 제대로 표현하지 못한다. 곡면에서 나타나는 계단형상 격자로 인해 모멘텀 손실이 발생하고 이로 인해 용탕의 흐름이 달라질 수 있으며 결과적으로 잘못된 주조 방안 설계를 할 수 있다. 이를 피하기 위하여 직교격자계에서 형상을 좀 더 정확하게 표현하기 위하여 많은 수의 격자를 생성하여 해석을 한다. 또는 직교격자계에서 발생하는 문제를 수치적으로 보완하는 Cut Cell 방법을 적용하여 해석하는 방법이 있다. 본 연구에서는 직교격자계에서 주조유동해석을 할 때 격자수에 따른 해석결과와 Cut Cell 방법을 적용한 해석 결과를 비교하였다. 또한 주조공정별로 실제제품을 주조유동해석을 하고 공정별로 Cut Cell 방법을 적용한 결과를 고찰하였다.

This paper focuses on the development of a new computational model of the CNESTEN's TRIGA Mark II research reactor using the 3D continuous energy Monte-Carlo code TRIPOLI-4 (T4). This new model was developed to assess neutronic simulations and determine quantities of interest such as kinetic parameters of the reactor, control rods worth, power peaking factors and neutron flux distributions. This model is also a key tool used to accurately design new experiments in the TRIGA reactor, to analyze these experiments and to carry out sensitivity and uncertainty studies. The geometry and materials data, as part of the MCNP reference model, were used to build the T4 model. In this regard, the differences between the two models are mainly due to mathematical approaches of both codes. Indeed, the study presented in this article is divided into two parts: the first part deals with the development and the validation of the T4 model. The results obtained with the T4 model were compared to the existing MCNP reference model and to the experimental results from the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR). Different core configurations were investigated via simulations to test the computational model reliability in predicting the physical parameters of the reactor. As a fairly good agreement among the results was deduced, it seems reasonable to assume that the T4 model can accurately reproduce the MCNP calculated values. The second part of this study is devoted to the sensitivity and uncertainty (S/U) studies that were carried out to quantify the nuclear data uncertainty in the multiplication factor k_eff. For that purpose, the T4 model was used to calculate the sensitivity profiles of the k_eff to the nuclear data. The integrated-sensitivities were compared to the results obtained from the previous works that were carried out with MCNP and SCALE-6.2 simulation tools and differences of less than 5% were obtained for most of these quantities except for the C-graphite sensitivities. Moreover, the nuclear data uncertainties in the k_eff were derived using the COMAC-V2.1 covariance matrices library and the calculated sensitivities. The results have shown that the total nuclear data uncertainty in the k_eff is around 585 pcm using the COMAC-V2.1. This study also demonstrates that the contribution of zirconium isotopes to the nuclear data uncertainty in the k_eff is not negligible and should be taken into account when performing S/U analysis.

If a molten core is released from a reactor vessel into a reactor cavity during a severe accident, an important safety issue of coolability of the molten core from top-flooding and concrete ablation due to a molten core concrete interaction (MCCI) is still unresolved. The released molten core debris would attack the concrete wall and basemat of the reactor cavity, which will lead to inevitable concrete decompositions and possible radiological releases. In a OECD/MCCI project scheduled for 4 years from 2002. 1 to 2005. 12, a series of tests were performed to secure the data for cooling the molten core spread out at the reactor cavity and for the 2-D long-term core concrete interaction (CCI). The tests included not only separate effect tests such as a melt eruption, water ingression, and crust failure tests with a prototypic material but also 2-D CCI tests with a prototypic material under dry and flooded cavity conditions. The paper deals with the transient simulations on the CCI-2 test by using a severe accident analysis code, CORQUENCH, which was developed at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). Similar simulations had been already per for me d by using MELCOR 1.8.5 code. Unlike the MELCOR 1.8.5, the CORQUENCH includes a melt eruption mode I and a newly developed water ingression model based on the water ingression tests under the OECD/MCCI project. In order to adjust the geometrical differences between the CCI-2 test (rectangular geometry) and the simulations (cylindrical geometry), the same scaling methodology as used in the MELCOR simulation was applied. For the direct comparison of the simulation results, the same inputs for the MELCOR simulation were used. The simulation results were compared with the previous results by using MELCOR 1.8.5.

The Wolsong-1 (W-1) Phase-B pre-simulations were carried out in preparation for tests to be conducted for the restart of the reactor after a major refurbishment project that included replacement of the pressure tube. These pre-simulations for Wolsong-1 Phase-B differ from those in the past that were performed for the Wolsong-1,2,3,4 tests in that these tests use the WIMS/DRAGON/RFSP-IST code suite for verification of the tests and gadolinium instead of the traditional PPV/MULTICELL/RFSP code system and boron as poison in the moderator system. The use of gadolinium is deemed not to have domestically accumulated experience gained from the previous Phase-B tests. Thus, it is appropriate to conduct a study in order to gain a correct understanding and interpretation of potential differences in test results stemming from using gadolinium rather than boron. Although the calibration of the reactivity device will not be noticeably different using boron and gadolinium at a constant moderator temperature, the temperature dependency of the neutronic behavior due to the presence of gadolinium in the moderator system might be pronounced. The results of the pre-simulations using gadolinium revealed that the moderator temperature reactivity coefficients indeed showed significant differences in comparison with those with boron. In order to secure the validity of the analysis results, the newly acquired WIMS/DRAGON/RFSP-IST code suite was verified against the W-2,3,4 Phase-B test results. The results of the new code suite verifications revealed some overall improvements in accuracy; justification of the use of the code can be claimed for the validation of the W-1 Phase-B test results.

Hybrid simulation (HS) has attracted community attention in recent years as an efficient and effective experimental technique for structural performance evaluation in size-limited laboratories. Traditional hybrid simulations usually take deterministic properties for their numerical substructures therefore could not account for inherent uncertainties within the engineering structures to provide probabilistic performance assessment. Reliable structural performance evaluation, therefore, calls for stochastic hybrid simulation (SHS) to explicitly account for substructure uncertainties. The experimental design of SHS is explored in this study to account for uncertainties within analytical substructures. Both computational simulation and laboratory experiments are conducted to evaluate the pseudo-random Sobol sequence for the experimental design of SHS. Meta-modeling through polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) is established from a computational simulation of a nonlinear single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) structure to evaluate the influence of nonlinear behavior and ground motions uncertainties. A series of hybrid simulations are further conducted in the laboratory to validate the findings from computational analysis. It is shown that the Sobol sequence provides a good starting point for the experimental design of stochastic hybrid simulation. However, nonlinear structural behavior involving stiffness and strength degradation could significantly increase the number of hybrid simulations to acquire accurate statistical estimation for the structural response of interests. Compared with the statistical moments calculated directly from hybrid simulations in the laboratory, the meta-model through PCE gives more accurate estimation, therefore, providing a more effective way for uncertainty quantification.

본 연구에서는 OpenFOAM에서 제공하는 소스코드를 이용하여 매끄러운 하상의 직사각형 개수로 흐름에 대해 수치모의를 수행하였다. 난류 해석을 위해 LES를 수행하였는데, 비등방성 잔여 응력항을 모델링하기 위해서 Germano et al. (1991)이 제시한 Dynamic Subgrid-scale 모형을 이용하였다. 조직구조를 분석하기 위하여 Lu and Willmarth (1973)가 제시한 uw 사분면기법을 이용하여 순간레이놀즈 응력이 레이놀즈 응력에 미치는 영향을 기여율과 시간비로 나누어 분석하였다. LES 모의 결과를 토대로 기존 실험 및 DNS 모의 결과와 비교하고 분석하였다. 매끈한 하상을 가진 개수로 흐름에서 완충층 이후의 구간에서 분출현상이 쓸기현상에 비해 레이놀즈 응력의 양의 생성에 기여하는 바가 크지만, 분출현상에 비해 쓸기현상의 발생빈도가 큰 것으로 확인되었다.

Purpose - In order to gain the upper hand in competition between container terminals, efforts to improve container terminal productivity continue. Export containers arrive randomly in the container terminal and are carried in the container terminal yard according to the arrival order. On the other hand, containers are carried out of the container terminal yard in order based on container weight, not in order of arrival. Because the carry-in order and the carry-out order are different, rehandling may occur, which reduces the performance of the container terminals. In order to reduce rehandling number, containers can be moved in advance when they arrive, which is called preprocessing. This paper proposes an effective preprocessing algorithm and analyzes the factors that affect the productivity of the container terminals. It also provides a way to choose the best factors for preprocessing for a variety of situations. Research design, data, and methodology - To analyze the impact of factors affecting the performance of preprocessing algorithms presented in this paper, simulations are performed. The simulations are performed for two types of bays, 12 stacks with 8 tiers, and 8 stacks with 6 tiers. Results - The results of the factor analysis that affects the performance of the preprocessing algorithm were as follows. (1) As the LMF increased, preprocessing number increases and rehandling number decreased. (2) The LML effect was greatest when the LML changed from 0 to 1, and that the effect decreased when it changed above 1. (3) The sum of preprocessing number and rehandling number was then shown to be increased after decrease, as the LMF increased. (4) In the case of NCI, a decrease in NCI showed that the containers would become more grouped and thus the performance was improved. (5) There was a positive effect in the case of EFS. Conclusion - In this paper, preprocessing algorithm was proposed and it was possible to choose the best factors for preprocessing for a variety of situations through simulations. Further research related to this study needs to be carried out in the following topic : a study on the improvement of container performance by connecting the preprocessing with remarshalling.
