Finite element model is established for the simulation of groundwater flow due to water curtain around underground oil storage Choleski decomposition method. The symmetric global conductance matrix is solved by vector storage Choleski decomposition method. The model is verified through comparison with the results of electric analogy. For the application of this model to real site, the finite element meshes are constructed according to representative vertical cross and longitudinal sections. In cross-sectional analysis, potential and flow distributions are compared based on the cavern pressure and horizontal water curtain. For longitudinal section, effects between nearly located caverns with or without vertical water curtain are analyzed. These results prove that the established model can be used as a tool for flow analysis around underground caverns.

Skid resistance is defined as the friction between pavement surfaces and vehicle tires. Lower skid resistances were observed as the vehicle speeds the water film thicknesses were increased according to the analysis results using computer modeling. The lift force is calculated from the analysis results and depends on vehicle speeds and the water film thickness. A modified IFI(international friction index) skid resistance prediction model was developed to reduce the differences between the IFI resistance prediction model and the actual skid resistance. The correlation analysis results between the IFI prediction model and the actual skid resistance revealed that the $R^2$ using the modified IFI prediction model was 0.64 whereas the $R^2$ using the conventional IFI prediction model was 0.49. This presents the modified prediction model is better than the conventional one. An improved precise prediction model is to be obtained if water film thicknesses are considered in the modified prediction model.

Several geophysical surveys(electrical resistivity, electromagnetic, seismic refraction, CPR) were conducted to primarily investigate the gallery and the geomembrane at an abandoned mine(Imcheon mine). The subsurface structure mapped from seismic refraction survey mainly consists of three velocity layers(>1000 m/s, 1000∼2000 m/s,＜2000 m/s). Top of the bedrock, whose velocities exceed 2000 m/s, appears to be at depth of 7.5∼10m. Higher resistivities (of ten thousands-hundred of thousands ohm-m) are interpreted to be associated with a open(cavities) gallery. The events at depth of approximately 0.5∼0.7m in GPR sections are probably caused by high-density-poly-ethylene geomembrane. Taking into consideration of the differences in the spatial resolution between georadar and electrical surveys, the events of geomembrane correspond to the top of the high resistivities at depth of about 2m. The segments, characterized with the higher conductivities in the electromagnetic data and the lower resistivities in the electrical resistivity data, are probably associated with surface water or tear zone of geomembrane.

암반 내에 공동을 굴착하여 LPG 혹은 원유를 저장하는 경우 공동에서의 지하수 유입량은 공동상부의 수압과 공동내의 가스압과의 관계를 파악할 수 있는 정량적인 지표가 된다. 공동내의 유입량은 되도록 일정하게 유지되는 것이 굴착등의 시공단계와 공동 운영 및 유지관리면에서 유리하며, 유입량의 급증 혹은 급감이 일어나는 경우는 그 원인을 조기에 규명하여야 한다. 이를 위해서는 지하수위, 가스저장압, 수막공 주입압 등에 따른 공동주변의 유동장 해석, 공동내로의 지하수 유입량 해석을 실시해야 한다. 지하저장공동의 유입량 해석에 있어서는 공동의 정확한 형상을 반영하기 위해서 유한요소법이 보편적으로 사유되어 왔으나 한번 설정한 유한요소망으로부터 공동의 설계요소를 변경하는 작업은 수원하지 않아 설계전단계에서 공동 및 수막 시설의 다양한 배치에 따른 모의를 수행하는데는 다소 무리가 있다. 이러한 불편함은 경계부의 형상과 조건만으로 내부점에서의 미지변수 계산을 효과적으로 수행할 수 있는 경계요소법을 도입함으로써 극복할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지하공동으로 배수되는 유입량 산정을 위해 경계요소법을 근간으로 한 2차원 지하수 흐름모형을 구성하였고, 이를 지하저장공동이 위치한 A기지에 적용하여 상부경계조건인 지하수위의 변화, 수막공 주입압 등에 따른 공동내의 유입량과 공동저장압과의 관계를 정량적으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과를 지하저장공동의 운영 및 유지관리에 활용될 수 있도록 수식화하여 제시하였다.

We evaluated the results of pumping tests, the amount of groundwater used by Protected Cultivation with Water Curtain (PCWC), and monthly depth to water table (DTW) at the Wangjeon-ri area, Nonsan City, to elucidate the cause of a decrease in pumping rate during the winter PCWC season. The transmissivity and storage coefficient at eight sites where the major aquifer is alluvium, vary from 119.9 to $388.1m^2/d$ and $1.5{\times}10^{-4}$ to $5.5{\times}10^{-4}$, respectively. The pumping rate for PCWC during three months (Dec. to Feb.) averaged about $8,100m^3/d$ and the maximum water level in the area varied by about 10 m. Groundwater levels had fully recovered by August-five months after pumping for PCWC had ceased. These observations indicate that the pumping rate during the winter PCWC season was excessive compared with groundwater productivity in the area. Groundwater level in the central PCWC area varied from -3.0 to 4.38 m, exceeding the water level of the Nosung Stream for only three months (Aug. to Oct.). This result indicates that Nosung Stream recharges the area during the period from November to July. To solve the problem of reduced pumping rate during the winter PCWC season, it would be necessary to reduce the amount of groundwater used for PCWC or to develop an artificial recharge system using recycled groundwater.

The most important factor of the traffic accident on the wet road is a tire slip caused by hydroplaning. Meanwhile, hydroplaning characteristics are influenced very greatly by the vehicle velocity, so it is very important to reveal the relation between hydroplaning and the vehicle velocity. Since the experiment study is considerably limited, recently the numerical simulation using finite element method(FEM) and finite volume method(FVM) is widely adopted. In this paper, the effect of the vehicle velocity on the hydroplaning characteristics is investigated through the hydroplaning analysis using MSC/Dytran.

Water curtain cultivation (WCC) systems in Korea have depleted water resources in shallow aquifers through massive pumping of groundwater. The goal of this study is to simulate the groundwater variations observed from massive groundwater pumping at a site in Cheongweon. MODFLOW was used to simulate three-dimensional regional groundwater flow, and the SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) watershed hydrologic model was employed to introduce temporal changes in groundwater recharge into the MODFLOW model input. Additionally, the estimation method for groundwater discharge in WCC areas (Moon et al., 2012) was incorporated into a groundwater pumping schedule as a MODFLOW input. We compared simulated data and field measurements to determine the degree to which winter season groundwater drawdown is effectively modeled. A simulation time of 107 days was selected to match the observed groundwater drawdown from November, 2012 to March, 2013. We obtained good agreement between the simulated drawdown and observed groundwater levels. Thus, the estimation method using daily minimum temperatures, may be applicable to other cultivation areas and can serve as a guideline in simulating the regional flow of riverside groundwater aquifers.

This study conducts the hydrological component analysis from 2010 to 2015 at the water curtain cultivation area in Cheongwon-gu, Cheongju-si and investigates the monthly based groundwater recharge variation. It is found that the rates of evaportranspiration, surface runoff and groundwater recharge were varied according to the total annual precipitation and their correlations were also changed annually. Annual recharge rates for annual precipitation ranged from 8.3% to 19%, and their coefficient of determination ranged from 0.39 to 0.94. Especially in 2015, when the severe drought came upon this area, the lack of groundwater recharge made groundwater level decrease consistently. Thus, it is thought that the special method of estimating exploitable groundwater in water curtain cultivation site is to be introduced.

For the proper management of high pressurized gas storage caverns, analysis of groundwater flow field and inflow quantity according to the groundwater head, gas storage pressure and water curtain head should be performed. The finite element method has been widely used for the groundwater flow analysis surrounding underground storage cavern because it can reflect the exact shape of cavern. But the various simulations according to the change of design factors such as the width of water curtain, shape of cavern etc. are not easy when elements were set up. To overcome these limitations, two dimensional groundwater flow model is established based on the boundary element method which compute the unknown variable by using only the boundary shape and condition. For the exact computation of drainage rate into cavern, the model test is performed by using the exact solution and pre-developed finite element model. The test result shows that the model could be used as an alternative to finite element model when various flow simulations are needed to determine the optimizing cavern shape and arrangement of water curtain holes and so forth.
