The effect of setup uncertainties on CTV dose and the correlation between setup uncertainties and setup margin were evaluated by Monte Carlo based numerical simulation. Patient specific information of IMRT treatment plan for rectal cancer designed on the VARIAN Eclipse planning system was utilized for the Monte Carlo simulation program including the planned dose distribution and tumor volume information of a rectal cancer patient. The simulation program was developed for the purpose of the study on Linux environment using open source packages, GNU C++ and ROOT data analysis framework. All misalignments of patient setup were assumed to follow the central limit theorem. Thus systematic and random errors were generated according to the gaussian statistics with a given standard deviation as simulation input parameter. After the setup error simulations, the change of dose in CTV volume was analyzed with the simulation result. In order to verify the conventional margin recipe, the correlation between setup error and setup margin was compared with the margin formula developed on three dimensional conformal radiation therapy. The simulation was performed total 2,000 times for each simulation input of systematic and random errors independently. The size of standard deviation for generating patient setup errors was changed from 1 mm to 10 mm with 1 mm step. In case for the systematic error the minimum dose on CTV $D_{min}^{stat{\cdot}}$ was decreased from 100.4 to 72.50% and the mean dose $\bar{D}_{syst{\cdot}}$ was decreased from 100.45% to 97.88%. However the standard deviation of dose distribution in CTV volume was increased from 0.02% to 3.33%. The effect of random error gave the same result of a reduction of mean and minimum dose to CTV volume. It was found that the minimum dose on CTV volume $D_{min}^{rand{\cdot}}$ was reduced from 100.45% to 94.80% and the mean dose to CTV $\bar{D}_{rand{\cdot}}$ was decreased from 100.46% to 97.87%. Like systematic error, the standard deviation of CTV dose ${\Delta}D_{rand}$ was increased from 0.01% to 0.63%. After calculating a size of margin for each systematic and random error the "population ratio" was introduced and applied to verify margin recipe. It was found that the conventional margin formula satisfy margin object on IMRT treatment for rectal cancer. It is considered that the developed Monte-carlo based simulation program might be useful to study for patient setup error and dose coverage in CTV volume due to variations of margin size and setup error.

본 연구에서는 나노복합재의 탄소성 거동과 항복응력을 예측하기 위해 분자동역학 전산모사를 수행하였다. 나일론 기지와 실리카 나노입자가 포함된 단위 셀 구조로부터 나노입자의 체적분율 변화에 따른 응력-변형률 선도를 등변형률을 적용한 등온등압 앙상블 전산모사로부터 도출하였다. 4%의 변형률 범위에서 나노복합재의 탄성계수를 도출하였고, 이를 이용하여 2% 오프셋 방법으로 항복응력을 예측하였다. 나노입자의 유무에 따른 항복평면의 변화와 고분자 재료에서 나타나는 정수압 효과가 항복평면에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해 일축 인장/압축 그리고 이축 인장/압축을 수행하였고, 각각의 경우에 나타나는 나노복합재 내부의 자유체적 변화에 대한 분석을 통해 나노입자의 강화효과를 고찰하였다. 또한 고분자 기지로 인해 발생하는 정수압 효과를 반영한 von-Miss 항복평면을 도출하고, 입자의 체적분율 변화에 따른 항복응력의 예측이 가능하도록 정수압효과에 대한 파라메터를 체적분율의 함수로 근사하였다.

중대사고 해석 전산 코드 국산화의 필요성이 대두되고 있는 이때 우리가 개발해야 할 코드의 요건을 다음 여섯 가지로 정리하였다: 1) 종합적인 해석 코드. 2) 1차계통과 격납건물 모사 능력의 유연성, 3) 자세한 발전소 거동 모사, 4) 사용자 편의성, 5) 개선 및 새로운 모델 접목의 용이성. 그리소 6) 최신 모델 포함. 이런 관점에서 기존의 중대사고 해석코드를 분석한 결과 코드 개발의 기준 코드로 MELCOR를 선정하였다. MELCOR는 계통 모사의 유연성 때문에 상용 발전소 뿐만 아니라 앞으로 개발 계획 중인 차세대나 중소형 원자로까지도 확장이 가능하며, 상세한 열수력 기본 지배 방정식을 활용하고. 모델 분석 및 개선에 필요한 코드에의 자유로운 접근이 허용되며, 지속적인 코드 개선이 이루어져 최신 모델을 보유하고 있다. 이미 MELCOR는 상당한 수준의 결과를 예측하고 있기만. 노심 손상 모델을 개선하고 격납건물 안에서의 주요 현상 모사 모델을 추가하며. 또한 국내에서 이루어지고 있는 SONATA 실험이나 증기 폭발 실험 결과들을 MELCOR에 반영하는 것이 가급적 짧은 시간에 기술 자립을 이를 수 있는 방법으로 판단된다.

In this paper, a new tomographic scan method with fixed installed detectors and rotating source from gamma projector was presented to diagnose the industrial plants which were impossible to be examined by conventional tomographic systems. Weight matrix calculation method which was suitable for volumetric detector and statistical iterative reconstruction method were applied for reconstructing the simulation and experimental data. Monte Carlo simulations had been performed for two kinds of phantoms. Lab scale experiment with a same condition as one of phantoms, had been carried out. Simulation results showed that reconstruction from photopeak counting measurement gave the better results than from the gross counting measurement although photopeak counting measurement had large statistical errors. Experimental data showed the similar result as Monte Carlo simulation. Those results appeared to be promising for industrial tomographic applications, especially for petrochemical industries.

Molecular simulations via the molecular dynamics method have been carried out to an equation of state of penetrable-sphere model fluids over a wide range of packing fraction ${\phi}$ and finite repulsive energy ${\varepsilon}^*$. The resulting simulation data are compared to theoretical predictions from the two limiting cases of high- and low-penetrability approximations available in the literature. A good agreement between theoretical and simulation results is observed ill the case of ${\varepsilon}^*$ <3.0. However, for the highly repulsive energy systems of ${\varepsilon}^*{\geqq}3.0$, where the potential energy barrier is more than two times higher than the particle kinetic energy, a poor agreement is found due to the clustering formation and the non-continuum size effects in the dense systems of ${\phi}{\geqq}0.7$ and ${\varepsilon}^*$=6.0.

Computational simulations of adsorption columns were carried out to investigate the removal characteristics of VOCs from a laundry shop. n-Decane was selected as the representative component among the VOCs emitted, and the activity of the adsorbents, such as activated carbon, was evaluated using commercial CFD code. The mathematical framework was composed of continuity and Navier-stokes equations, and the simulation was performed using the Matlab program. The adsorption isotherms of LDF, Freundlich, and Langmuir were evaluated, and the adsorption amount of the adsorption isotherms with the adsorption parameter was compared. The simulation was carried out using a particle porosity, dispersion coefficient, particle density, bed diameter, and bed length of 0.79, 42.4 ㎠/min, 485 g/L, 2.0 cm, and 2.5 cm, respectively. The effect of the gas velocity, dispersion coefficient, and voidage on the adsorption amount was compared in the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The simulation was carried out in the velocity range of 50 to 200 cm/min, dispersion coefficient range of 100 to 400 ㎠/min, and particle porosity range of 0.66 to 0.79. The simulation results of activated carbon with benzene coincided with the Langmuir isotherm. Three types of adsorption isotherm were compared under similar conditions, and the simulation results showed the efficient adsorption condition for hydrocarbons.

To produce plastic parts that have fine pattern through conventional injection molding, a lot of difficulties follow. Therefore, rapid heating and cooling methods are good candidates for manufacturing injection-molded parts with micro/nano patterns. In this study, we adopted the E-Mold patent technology. The mold for E-Mold technology has a separate heated core with micro heaters. It is very important to optimize the lay-out of the heaters in heated core because it influences both control and distribution of mold temperature. We developed a optimization method of heating line lay-out by using commercial softwares and compared the output with the experimental results. We used Pro-Engineer Wildfire 2.0 for the mold design, ICEMCFD for mesh generation, and FLUENT for heat transfer simulation. The simulation results showed the temperature profile from $60^{\circ}C$ to $120^{\circ}C$ or $180^{\circ}C$ during heating and cooling process which were compared with the injection molding experiments. We concluded that the simulation could well explain the experimental results. It was shown that the E-Mold optimization design for heater lay-out could be available through the simulation.

The structure of the actual detector was computed using the code of the PENELOPE. Using the standard mixed sources (450, 1,000 ml), compare the effectiveness of each energy according to various densities and height of the PENELOPE computer simulation, and calculate the effectiveness of the various environmental specimens and apply them to various environmental specimens to determine the lower limit. The values obtained by the obtained value were obtained by applying the obtained efficiency to the actual environmental specimens and obtaining the lower limit values. The density correction factor is 1.155 g of the density correction factor of $0.4g/cm^3$ (59.54keV), 1.153 (661 keV), $1.06g/cm^3$ 1.064 (1,836.04keV), 1.03, and 1.033. It was confirmed that the radioactivity concentration of environmental samples decreased as the amount of specimen was measured increases, and the MDA value decreased as time measured increases.
