초록

MX80 벤토나이트 펠렛에서의 열-수리-역학적 복합거동 특성을 파악하고자 TOUGH2-FLAC3D 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 스페인 CIEMAT에서 수행된 컬럼 시험에 대한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석에서는 실험실에서 사용된 것과 동일한 히터 파워와 물 주입압을 경계조건으로 설정하고 해석을 수행하였다. 사용된 열-수리 모델이 벤토나이트 펠렛의 복합거동 예측에 적용하기 적합한지 판단하기 위해 가열과 물 주입에 의한 벤토나이트 펠렛에서의 온도와 상대습도 변화를 시간 경과에 따라 잘 예측할 수 있는 지를 살펴보았다. 계산된 결과가 계측된 온도와 상대습도 변화 경향을 적절하게 재현 할 수 있었기 때문에 사용된 열-수리 모델은 벤토나이트 펠렛의 열-수리 복합거동을 예측하고 재현하기에 적절한 것으로 판단된다. 하지만, 물 주입 이후의 계산된 응력변화가 상대적으로 작고 느리게 변화되는 것으로 보아 사용된 탄성모델과 스웰링 모델에 한계점이 존재하는 것으로 보이며, 사용된 두 역학 모델로 완충재의 복잡한 열-수리-역학적 복합거동을 현실적으로 재현하기에 부족한 것으로 판단된다.

Numerical simulations of CIEMAT column test in Spain are performed to investigate the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) behavior of MX80 bentonite pellets using TOUGH2-FLAC3D. The heater power and injection pressure of water in the numerical simulations are identical to those in the laboratory test. To investigate the applicability of the thermo-hydraulic (TH) model used in TOUGH2 code to prediction of the coupled TH behavior, the simulation results are compared with the observations of temperature and relative humidity with time. The tendencies of the coupled behavior observed in the test are well represented by the numerical models and the simulator in terms of temperature and relative humidity evolutions. Moreover, the performance of the models for the reproduction and prediction of the coupled TH behavior is globally satisfactory compared with the observations. However, the calculated stress change is relatively small and slow due to the limitations of the simple elastic and swelling pressure model used in numerical simulations. It seems that the two models are insufficient to realistically reproduce the complex coupled THM behavior in the bentonite pellets.
