In order to evaluate the integrity of nuclear power plant components, the analysis based on fracture mechanics is crucial. For this purpose, finite element method is popularly used to obtain J-integral. However, it is time consuming to design the finite element model of a cracked structure. Also, the J-integral should be verified by alternative methods since it may differ depending on the calculation method. The objective of this paper is to develop a three-dimensional elastic-plastic J-integral analysis system which is named as EPAS program. The EPAS program consists of an automatic mesh generator for a through-wall crack and a surface crack, a solver based on ABAQUS program, and a J-integral calculation program which provides DI (Domain Integral) and EDI (Equivalent Domain Integral) based J-integral calculation. Using the EPAS program, an optimized finite element model for a cracked structure can be generated and corresponding J-integral can be obtained subsequently.

Hwang(2022; J.KWRA, 55, 10)은 수심 적분 모형으로 불연속 지형을 경사로 완화하지 않고 직접 해석하는 Hwang(2015; J.KSCE, 35, 6)의 기법이 적용된 수치 모형의 정확도를 높이기 위해 지형 전면에 실제로 작용하는 정수압 분포와 차이를 해명하는 흐름률 보정 계수(flux correction coefficient)를 도입하였다. 직각 광정 위어 실험 중에서 널리 알려진 다섯 가지 월류 실험으로부터 218회의 시행을 추려 실험과 모의에서 월류량 값이 서로 잘 일치하는 흐름률 보정 계수를 각각 산정하였는데, 이때 광정 위어를 지나는 흐름을 모의하기 위해 계산 영역을 평면 2차원으로 두고 삼각형 계산 격자로 분할하였다(Hwang, 2022). 실험에 사용된 실험 수로들이 수로의 길이 방향으로 그 폭이 일정하므로 옆벽의 영향이 크지 않다면 수로의 단위 폭에 모형을 적용함으로써 계산 영역의 차원을 한 수준 낮출 수 있다. 실질적으로 1차원 모의가 되어 모의 시간을 획기적으로 줄일 수 있으므로 다양한 분석이 가능하겠으나, 2차원 모의로부터 결정된 흐름률 보정 계수를 수정없이 그대로 적용하는 것이 적절한지 검토할 필요가 있다. 이 연구에서는 Hwang(2022)이 검토한 218회의 직각 광정 위어 실험 시행에 수로의 단위 폭에 불연속 지형을 직접 해석할 수 있는 Hwang(2015)의 1차원 모형을 적용하고 모의와 실험에서 월류량의 차이가 최소가 되는 흐름률 보정 계수를 각각 산정하였다. 결정된 흐름률 보정 계수의 평균값을 별도로 선정된 두 가지 직각 광정 위어 실험에 적용하였으며, 보정에 따른 모형의 성능을 평가하기 위해 Willmott의 일치 지표(index of agreement)를 이용하였다. 흐름률 보정 계수를 적용하였을 때, 한 실험 경우에 대해 모형의 성능이 대폭 개선됨을 확인하였고 성능 개선이 미미한 나머지 실험 경우는 보정 전에 일치 지표가 이미 상당히 높은 편이었다. 2차원 문제에 이어 1차원 모형의 적용에서도 흐름률 보정 계수를 결정함으로써 계단이나 직립 보와 같은 불연속 지형을 넘나드는 천수 흐름의 월류량을 더 쉽고 정확하게 파악할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Nonlinear shoaling characteristics over surf zone are numerically investigated based on spatially averaged NavierStokes equation. We also test the validity of gradient model for turbulent stresses due to wave breaking using the data acquainted during SUPERTANK LABORATORY DATA COLLECTION PROJECT(Krauss et al., 1992). It turns out that the characteristics length scale of breaking induced current is not negligible, which firmly stands against ever popular gradient model, ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model, but favors Large Eddy Simulation with finer grid. Based on these observations, we model the residual stress of spatially averaged NavierStokes equation after Lagrangian Dynamic Smagorinsky(Meneveau et al., 1996). We numerically integrate newly proposed wave equations using SPH with Gaussian kernel function. Severely deformed water surface profile, free falling water particle, queuing splash after landing of water particle on the free surface and wave finger due to structured vortex on rear side of wave crest(Narayanaswamy and Dalrymple, 2002) are successfully duplicated in the numerical simulation of wave propagation over uniform slope beach, which so far have been regarded very difficult features to mimic in the computational fluid mechanics.

The Born approximation is widely used for solving the complex scattering problems in electromagnetics. Approximating total internal electric field by the background field is reasonable for small material contrasts as long as scatterer is not too large and the frequency is not too high. However in many geophysical applications, moderate and high conductivity contrasts cause both real and imaginary part of internal electric field to differ greatly from background. In the extended Born approximation, which can improve the accuracy of Born approximation dramatically, the total electric field in the integral over the scattering volume is approximated by the background electric field projected to a depolarization tensor. The finite difference and elements methods are usually used in EM scattering problems with a 2D model and a 3D source, due to their capability for simulating complex subsurface conductivity distributions. The price paid for a 3D source is that many wavenumber domain solutions and their inverse Fourier transform must be computed. In these differential equation methods, all the area including homogeneous region should be discretized, which increases the number of nodes and matrix size. Therefore, the differential equation methods need a lot of computing time and large memory. In this study, EM modeling program for a 2D model and a 3D source is developed, which is based on the extended Born approximation. The solution is very fast and stable. Using the program, crosshole EM responses with a vertical magnetic dipole source are obtained and the results are compared with those of 3D integral equation solutions. The agreement between the integral equation solution and extended Born approximation is remarkable within the entire frequency range, but degrades with the increase of conductivity contrast between anomalous body and background medium. The extended Born approximation is accurate in the case conductivity contrast is lower than 1:10. Therefore, the location and conductivity of the anomalous body can be estimated effectively by the extended Born approximation although the quantitative estimate of conductivity is difficult for the case conductivity contrast is too high.
