In this study, numerical modeling on the gas flow and off-gases in the low temperature carbonization furnace for carbon fiber was analyzed. The furnace was designed for testing carbonization process of carbon fibers made from various precursors. Nitrogen gas was used as a working gas and it was treated as an incompressible ideal gas. Three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics for steady state turbulent flow was used to analyze flow pattern and temperature field in the furnace. The off-gas mass fraction and cumulative emission gas of species were incorporated into the CFD analyses by using the user defined function(UDF). As a results, during the carbonization process, the emission of CO2 was the dominant among the off-gases, and tow moving made the flow in the furnace be uniform.

The engineered barrier system (EBS) is an indispensable element of a deep geological repository (DGR) designed to prevent the discharge of radioactive materials into the environment. The buffer material is a vital component of the EBS by creating a physical and chemical barrier that prevents the migration of radioactive materials. In the disposal environment, gases can be generated from the corrosion of the canister. When the gas generation rate exceeds the diffusion rate, the buffer material’s performance can deteriorate by the physical damage induced by the increase in pore pressure. Therefore, understanding the EBS’s behavior under gas generation conditions is crucial to guarantee the longterm safety and performance of the DGR. Lab-scale and field-scale experiments have been conducted to examine the stability of the buffer material concerning gas generation and movement by the previous researchers. To evaluate long-term stability for more than 100,000 years, it is essential to assess stability using a numerical model verified by these experiments. This study investigated the effect of interfacial characteristics on the numerical modeling accuracy of experimental simulation while verifying a numerical model through field-scale experimental results. The findings of this study are expected to furnish fundamental data for establishing numerical analysis guidelines for the longterm stability assessment of disposal systems.

With the increasing demand for a repository to safely dispose of high-level radioactive waste (HLW), it is imperative to conduct a safety assessment for HLW disposal facilities for ensuring the permanent isolation of radionuclides. For this purpose, the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) is currently developing the Adaptive Process-based total system performance assessment framework for a geological disposal system (APro). A far-field module, which specifically focuses on fluid flow and radionuclide transport in the host rock, is one of several modules comprising APro. In Korea, crystalline rock is considered the host rock for deep geological disposal facilities due to its high thermal conductivity and extremely low permeability. However, the presence of complex fracture system in crystalline rock poses a significant challenge for managing fluid flow and nuclide transport. To address this challenge, KAERI is participating in DECOVALEX-2023 Task F1, which seeks to compare and verify modeling results using various levels of performance assessment models developed by each country for reference disposal systems. Through the benchmark problems suggested by DECOVALEX-2023 Task F1, KAERI adopts the Discrete Fracture-Matrix (DFM) as the primary fracture modeling approach. In this study, the transport processes of reactive tracers in fractured rock, modeled with DFM, are simulated. Specifically, three different tracers (conservative, decaying, adsorbing) are introduced through the fracture under identical injecting conditions. Thereafter, the breakthrough curves of each tracer are compared to observe the impact of reactive tracers on nuclide transport. The results of this study will contribute to a better understanding of nuclide behavior in subsurface fractured rock under various conditions.

최근, 구조설계 기준 및 평가방법의 전문화로 인하여, 선급 규칙의 통합화가 이뤄졌었다. 그 좋은 일례가 국제공통규칙(CSR, Common Structural Rule)이다. 그러나, 종강도 하중이 크게 작용하는 화물창 구역에만 국한하여 세부규정이 제시되어 있고, 선수와 선미부 구조에는 별다른 평가 지침이 없다. 언급한 구역의 구조설계는 조선사의 설계 경험에 의존하여 진행하고 있으며, 선급에서도 명확한 기준 이 없으므로 구조 손상 문제가 발생하더라도 근본적인 원인을 파악하기가 힘들다. 본 연구에서는 선미부에 주로 발생하고 있는 좌굴 손 상의 대표적인 사례에 대한 근본적인 원인을 파악하기 위한 엔지니어링 기반의 해법을 제시하였다. 유한요소해석 모델링 기반 구조 강도 검증을 위하여, 하중 조건, 경계조건, 모델링 방법 그리고 평가 기준에 대한 합리적인 해법을 제시하였다. 선미부에 작용하는 휨 모멘트에 의하여 높이 방향으로 압축하중에 의해서 좌굴이 발생할 가능성이 있으며, 좌굴 강성 증가를 위하여 판 두께 증가 혹은 수직 보강재의 추 가가 필요하다. 앞으로도 이 결과는 유사 운반선의 선미부 구조 강도 검토 시 도움을 줄 것으로 기대된다.

Damages by jellyfish are occurring frequently around the world. Among them, accidents caused by jellyfish stings are serious enough to cause death. So we designed a jellyfish blocking net and analyzed its stability to prevent sting caused by jellyfish entering the beach. To this end, the dynamic behavior of the jellyfish blocking net according to the current speed (0.25-1.0 m/s) and the net type (50, 100 and 150 mm) on the upper part of the blocking net was modeled using the mass spring model. As a result of simulations for the model, the horizontal tension (horizontal component of the mooring tension) of the mooring line increased with the decrease in the mesh size on the upper part of the blocking net at all current speeds, but exceeded the holding force at high tides faster than 0.5 m/s and exceeded the holding force at all current speeds at low tide. Therefore, the jellyfish blocking nets showed poor stability overall. The depth of the float line had a little difference according to the upper mesh size and increased lineary proportional to the current speed. However, the float line sank too much to block the incoming jellyfish. These analysis results helped us find ways to improve the stability of the jellyfish blocking net, such as adjusting the length of the mooring line and improving the holding power. Therefore, it is expected that this technology will be applied us various underwater structures to discover the weaknesses of the structures and contribute to increasing the stability in the future.

The Korean stow net is a fishing method that utilizes the changing direction of the net entrance with the tidal current. This study attempted to obtain basic data from the recent offshore stow net fisheries to improve the gear by analyzing the dynamic behavior of the nets affected by current speed and direction using computer simulations. A numerical calculation was performed at a current speed of 0.5 knot between 2.5 knot at each 0.5 knot. The time taken for the gear opening was the longest from 0.5 knot at 1,500 seconds and the shortest from 2.5 knot at 450 seconds in the simulations. In all cases, the net width and tension at net deployment gradually decreased as the current speed decreased. However, the net height tended to increase inversely proportional to the current speed. During the net rotation, the net height was maintained at all cases. The net width and tension fluctuated, but the regularity was very low. In this study, the calculated simulation data showed that the opening efficiency decreased proportional to the current speed. The opening efficiency is related to the catching efficiency; therefore, it is necessary to improve the gear to enhance its opening efficiency.

Permanent deformation plays a key role in performance based earthquake resistant design. In order to estimate permanent deformation after earthquake, it is essential to secure reliable response history analysis(RHA) as well as earthquake scenario. This study focuses on permanent deformation of an inverted T-type wall under earthquake. The study is composed of two separate parts. The first one is on the verification of RHA and the second one is on an effect of input earthquake motion. The former is discussed in this paper and the latter in the companion paper. The verification is conducted via geotechnical dynamic centrifuge test in prototype scale. Response of wall stem, ground motions behind the wall obtained from RHA matched pretty well with physical test performed under centrifugal acceleration of 50g. The rigorously verified RHA is used for parametric study to investigate an effect of input earthquake motion selection in the companion paper.

The Fishing gear loss has been repeated every year in the West Sea; however, there has been no solution. So fisher men have undergone economic loss every year. Thus it is required to reduce the loss of fishing gear. In this study to find out the reason that the fishing gear is lost in the Sea, 10 years data of wave and current for 6 locations in the West Sea were investigated and a numerical modelling were conducted into the behaviour of a gillnet in wave and current. The fishing gear was modelled with the mass spring model. As a result, it came out into the open that the location where fishing gear loss occurred most frequently was Choongnam province. The height of the maximum significant wave in this province was 6.7 m and the period of that was 4.4 second. The maximum current speed was 0.7 m/s. As a result of simulation with these data, it was revealed that the buoy is one of the reasons to decrease the holding power of the gillnet. For example, the tension of anchor rope was decreased to 50% while the drag coefficient or volume of buoy was decreased to 25%. So it is predicted that an improvement of the buoy contributes to the reduction of the gillnet loss.

PURPOSES : To solve problems in current compaction control DCPT(Dynamic Cone Penetrometer Test), highly correlated with various testing methods, simple, and economic is being applied. However, it、s hard to utilize DCPT results due to the few numerical analyses for DCPT have been performed and the lack of data accumulation. Therefore, this study tried to verify the validation of numerical modeling for DCPT by comparing and analyzing the results of numerical analyses with field tests. METHODS: The ground elastic modulus and PR(Penetration Rate) value were estimated by using PFC(Particle Flow Code) 3D program based on the discrete element method. Those values were compared and analyzed with the result of field tests. Also, back analysis was conducted to describe ground elastic modulus of field tests. RESULTS : Relative errors of PR value between the numerical analyses and field tests were calculated to be comparatively low. Also, the relationship between elastic modulus and PR value turned out to be similar. CONCLUSIONS : Numerical modeling of DCPT is considered to be suitable for describing field tests by carrying out numerical analysis using PFC 3D program.

한국 남해에서 조류와 취송류, 밀도류 그리고 잔차류의 특성을 이해하기 위하여 3차원유동모델(POM; Princeton Ocean Model)을 이용하였다. 조석 잔차류의 분포를 보면, 대조기에는 동쪽 방향으로의 흐름이, 소조기에는 서쪽으로의 흐름이 우세하였다. 잔차류는 연안에서 지형의 효과로 인하여 불규칙하게 나타났다. 연안역에서의 밀도류는 비교적 약하고 계절적인 차이는 작다. 외해에서는 특별한 유동현상을 주목해야 한다. 즉, 외양역에서의 흐름은 쓰시마 해류와 유사한 결과를 보이고 있다. 연안역에서의 취송류는 외해역에서 보다 매우 강하게 나타났다. 또한 표층의 해류가 저층의 해류보다 강하게 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 통하여 남해안에서의 물질 이동 확산을 예측하기 위한 기초자료로 활용 가능 할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 강릉 녹색도시 경포호 주변해역을 대상으로 향후 계획중인 해양심층수 취수 및 배출에 따른 해양환경의 지속가능한 이용 개발 및 그의 건강성을 평가하기 위한 기초적 연구에 해당한다. 기존 해양심층수 배출해역에 대한 해양물리환경조사 결과를 바탕으로 구축되어진 3차원 해수유동 수치모형을 바탕으로 임의 배출수 조건(배출 유량, 수온, 염분)을 가정하여 수중유출 조건에 대한 배출수 확산패턴을 수치모의하였다. 해양심층수의 배출유량은 10,000 t

중ㆍ저준위 방사성폐기물 처분 부지의 부지특성조사 결과를 이용하여 처분장 부지의 지하수 유동체계를 이해하기 위한 수치 모델링을 수행하였다. 부지의 투수성 단열대 및 암반단열의 분포 특성에 근거하여 단열망 모델을 구축하고, 이를 이용하여 생성된 10개의 수리전도도장을 지하수 유동 모델링에 반영한 추계론적 Hybrid-EPM 방법으로 수치 모델을 구성하였다. 10회의 지하수 유동 모델링 결과, 처분 부지의 지하수두 및 지하수 흐름은 지표 근처에서 지형적인 요소에 크게 지배를 받는 것으로 나타나며 처분장 심도에서는 주변에 존재하는 투수성이 높은 단열대에 의해 영향을 받음을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히, 처분 시설 건설 중 사일로 주변 지역에서 수위 강하가 크게 발생하는 것으로 분석되었다. 처분 시설 폐쇄한 후 지하수위는 1년 이내에 급속히 회복되며, 대략 2년이 지난 후 완전히 회복 될 것으로 분석되었다.

A standard RC apartment structure was analysed using commercial structural analysis program MIDAS. The effects of TLD were considered by equivalent tuned mass damper model and harmonic load of wmch frequency was identical to that of the RC structure and artificial earthquake loads generated accroding to the design spectrum in KBC2005 were used as excitation loads. TLD showed maximally 70% reduction of peak/RMS relative displacement, interstory drift, acceleration, and story shear induced by harmonic load while it reduced about 20~28% of those structural responses excluding absolute acceleration induced by artificial earthquake loads.
