A conventional single compartment model cannot simulate reasonably the migration phenomenon of contaminants through unsaturated zone, due to the intrinsic unrealistic assumption of the compartment model that contaminants entering a compartment are immediately and uniformly mixed. Although, a multi-compartments model, in which even physically identical layer is divided into multiple compartments, may be used for explaining the retardation of contaminant mass flux along with increasing number of compartments, its numerical modeling is usually time-consuming and appropriate analytical solutions have not been reported yet. In order to improve the conventional compartment models on contaminant migration through unsaturated zone, a series of analytical solutions for multi-compartments model were derived and a generalized constraint under which the results from multi-compartments model can be simply approximated by single compartment model was proposed. The simplified approximation method was verified by a simple numerical analysis on the constraint under hypothetical conditions. It was also proved that the influent contaminant transfer rate from the bulk unsaturated zone can be generally represented into a time-dependent nominal transfer rate rather than a constant. In addition, the nominal transfer rate turned out to be very sensitive to the contaminant transfer rate between compartments in unsaturated zone, but to be almost insensitive to the transfer rate from contaminated zone. It is expected that the simplified approximation method developed in this study can be used for rapid and reasonable estimation of the migration phenomenon of contaminant through unsaturated zone, instead of time-consuming multi-compartments modeling.

We have developed an one-dimensional (ID) inversion program that can invert multiple frequency small-loop EM data from horizontal coplanar (HCP) and vertical coplanar (VCP) configurations. The inverse problem is solved using least-squares method with active constraint balancing (ACB) method and Jacobian matrix is calculated analytically. Tests using synthetic data from simple ID models indicate that conductivity and depth of each layer can be estimated properly when both real and imaginary data are used together.

In this review paper, we introduce recent research studied effective physical properties of the reinforced composite using mean-field homogenization. We address homogenization for effective stiffness and expand it to effective thermal/electrical conductivity and dielectric constant. Multiphysics problems like piezoelectricity and thermoelectricity are considered by simplifying the constitutive equation into the linear equations like Hooke's law. We present a generalized theoretical formula for predicting effective physical properties of composite and validation by against finite element analysis.

반도체 공정에서 소자의 제조 비용 감소를 위해 제조 공정 검증을 위한 시뮬레이션을 수행하게 된다. 이 시뮬레이션은 반도체 소자 내부의 물리량 계산을 통해 반도체 소자 내부의 불순물의 거동을 해석하게 된다. 이를 위해 사용되는 알고리즘으로 3차원적 형상을 표현하는 물리적 미분 미분방정식을 계산하게 되는데, 정확한 계산을 위해 유한 차분 시간 영역법(이하 FDTD)과 같은 수치해석 기법을 이용한다. 실제적으로 반도체 공정의 시뮬레이션에서 FDTD연산의 실행 시간은 90% 이상을 소요하게 된다. 이러한 연산에서 더욱 빠른 성능을 확보하기 위해 본 논문에서는 기존의 CUDA(Compute Unified Device Architecture)로 구현된 FDTD알고리즘을 OpenMP를 통한 다중 GPU제어를 이용하여 연산 수행시간을 감소하고, 그 결과물을 통하여 성능 향상도를 측정한다.

Data acquisition is as important as data processing and interpretation in the field of marine geophysical exploration. Marine geophysicist, however, may not have enough information in this field because data acquisition method has been mainly developed by the commercial companies manufacturing the equipment. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to introduce the general data acquisition method and information to help to construct the systematic and effective survey plan. When a survey plan is set up, the most important thing is to select the seismic equipment based on required penetration depth and resolution, and then construct the survey line intervals. Although a line interval varies from the research purposes, it should be narrower than the expected subsurface structures. Also, if 100% coverage of multibeam data is required, line intervals need to be adjusted based on the equipment characteristics. In case of merging with the preexisting dataset like bathymetry, gravity and magnetic, cross-over errors occurred at the each cross point should be removed to avoid any kinds of misinterpretation.

Computer Aided Engineering(CAE) technology as well as Design(CAD) and Manufacturing(CAM) have been widely adopted in the aerospace industry in order to develop the structure of airplanes, satellites and launch vehicles. Among them, CAE softwares based on finite element methods such as NASTRAN, ABAQUS and ANSYS have gained many engineers' interest in various industries such as automobiles, civils, aircraft and spacecraft. The softwares usually consist of several modules: Static, Dynamic, Vibration, Impact etc. that make analysis specific to meet the design goals of the structure systems. Recent enhancement in the computer hardwares and numerical algorithms enables us to perform complex analysis like multi-physics, optimum design. Also, they make it possible to deal with a large scale problem easily. This paper reviews structural analysis softwares in aerospace industry and gives a summary on its recent development.

We have derived an analytical expression for the sensitivity of the frequency domain small-loop electromagnetic (EM) surveys over a two-layer earth in order to estimate the depth of investigation with an instrument having the source-receiver separation of about 2 m. We analyzed the sensitivities to the lower layer normalized by those to the upper half-space and estimated the depth of investigation from the sensitivity analyses and the mutual impedance ratio. The computational results showed that the in-phase components of the sensitivity to the lower layer dominates those to the upper layer when the thickness of the upper layer is less than 20 m, while the quadrature components are not sensitive to the lower layer over the entire frequency range. Hence we confirmed that the accurate measurement of the in-phase component is essential to increase the depth of investigation in the multi-frequency small-loop EM survey. When conductive basement of 10 ohm-m underlies the upper layer of 100 ohm-m, an accurate measurement of the in-phase components ensures the depth of the investigation more than 10 m even accounting a noise effect, from which we conclude that the small-loop EM survey is quite effective in imaging the conductive plume down to a considerable depth. On the other hand, in the presence of the resistive basement of 1,000 ohm-m, the depth of investigation may not exceed 5 m considering the instrumental accuracy, which implies that the application of the small-loop EM survey is not recommended over the resistive environment other than detecting the buried conductor.

In this study, a numerical method for a time-domain acoustic wave backscattering analysis is established based on a physical optics and a Fourier transform. The frequency responses of underwater targets are calculated based on physical optics derived from the Kirchhoff-Helmholtz integral equation by applying Kirchhoff approximation and the time-domain signals are simulated taking inverse fast Fourier transform to the obtained frequency responses. Particularly, the adaptive triangular beam method is introduced to calculate the areas impinged directly by acoustic incident wave and the virtual surface concept is adopted to consider the multiple reflection effect. The numerical analysis result for an acoustic plane wave field incident normally upon a square flat plate is coincident with the result by the analytic time-domain physical optics derived theoretically from a conventional physical optics. The numerical simulation result for a hemi-spherical end-capped cylinder model is compared with the measurement result, so that it is recognized that the presented method is valid when the specular reflection effect is predominant, but, for small targets, gives errors due to higher order scattering components. The numerical analysis of an idealized submarine shows that the established method is effectively applicable to large and complex-shaped underwater targets.
