Based on the results of groundwater flow system modeling for a hypothetical deep geological repository site, quantitative and spatial distributions of groundwater flow rates at the positions of deposition holes, groundwater travel length and time from the positions to the surface environment were analyzed and used to suggest a method for determining locations of deposition holes. The hydraulic head values at the depth of the deposition holes and a particle tracking method were used to calculate the ground-water flow rates and groundwater travel length and time, respectively. From the results, an approach to designing a layout of deposition holes was suggested by selecting relatively favorable positions for maintaining performance of the disposal facility and screening some positions of deposition holes that did not comply with specific constraints for the groundwater flow rates, travel length and time. In addition, a method for determining a geometrical direction for extension of the disposal facility was discussed. Designing the layout of deposition holes with the information of groundwater flow at the disposal depth can contribute to secure performance and safety of the disposal facility.

Groundwater flow simulations were performed to obtain data of groundwater flow used in a safety assessment for a hypothetical geological disposal facility assumed to be located in the KURT (KAERI Underground Research Tunnel) site. A regional scale modeling of the groundwater flow system was carried out to make boundary conditions for a local scale modeling. And, fracture zones identified at the study site were involved in the local scale groundwater flow model. From the results of the local scale modeling, a hydraulic head distribution was indicated and it was used in a particle tracking simulation for searching pathway of groundwater from the location of the hypothetical disposal facility to the surface where the groundwater reached. The flow distance and discharge rate of the groundwater in the KURT site were calculated. It was thought that the modeling methods used in this study was available to prepare the data of groundwater flow in a safety assessment for a geological disposal facility of radioactive wastes.

고준위 방사성 폐기물 영구처분 안전성을 평가하기 위하여 입력 자료로 처분장 주변 각 암 반에서의 지하수 유동 속도 및 유동 시간이 요구된다. 이러한 유동 속도와 시간은 대부분의 경우 단일 값이 요구되지만 고준위 방사성 처분의 경우 지하 매질의 불확실성을 고려하기 위하여 확률론적 분석이 요구된다. 지하수 유동 속도 및 시간이 확률밀도함수로 표시되기 위해서는 기존의 방법에서는 수리 해석의 입력 인자 값들을 변화시키면서 반복적인 계산을 수행하는 방법이 사용되었다. 그러나 이러한 방법론의 한계를 극복하기 위해 최근 섭동 이론을 이용한 adjoint 방법론이 사용되고 있는 바 이를 이용하여 가상 처분장에서의 지하수 유동 속도와 시간을 확률론적으로 해석하였다.

There are three major processes to impact the groundwater flow near underground storage caverns in the coastal area; effect of topography, effect of sea water intrusion, and effect of excavation. In this paper, the effects of three items were numerically studied to identify the major cause for altering the flow pattern. It turned out that the excavation is the most significant effect on the groundwater flow system. The groundwater pressure distributions and consequent groundwater pathways were significantly altered near the openings. By increasing the groundwater pressures from water curtain holes, the potential leakage of storage cavern was properly prevented

지하 암반내에 방사성 폐기물 영구 처분을 위한 동굴이 건설될 경우 정상 상태에서 처분동굴 주변 암반이 균질 다공성 매질이라는 가정 아래 동굴내로 유입되는 지하수량을 NAMMU 컴퓨터 프로그램을 이용하여 계산하였다. 계산 결과는 산정상 밑과 해저밑이 약간 유입량이 많았으나 위치에 크게 영향 받지는 않았다. 계산값의 검증을 위해서 비교적 단순 지형에 대한 해석해를 유도하여 비교하였다. 처분시설 페쇄후 성능 평가를 위해 지하수 유동 거리가 가장 길 것으로 예상되는 산정상 밑 동굴에 대해 유동경로 분석을 수행하여, 처분 동굴로부터 지표수로의 지하수 유동 거리 및 유동 시간 등을 구하였다. 또한, 산정상 밑 처분동굴을 실제와 같이 5개로 모델링하여 유입량의 변화를 살펴보았으며, 동굴 주변 암반 특성의 값에 대한 지하수 유입량 변화를 알아보았다.

Radionuclide released from corroded container migrates through groundwater flow pathway in the underground rock. Therefore it is important to study the groundwater flow analysis for total system performance assessment of a HLW repository. In this study assuming a geological change of underground rock in future, the two dimensional groundwater flow analysis is done by the NAMMU, the assessment code for groundwater flow in porous media. Assuming the hypothetical repository with the reactivation of fault in the vicinity of it, the effect of change in aperture and permeability by reactivation of fault around a repository on groundwater pathway is studied.

본 연구에서는 제주도 지역에서 지속가능한 범위 내에서 지하수의 효율적인 개발과 이용을 위하여 대수층내 에서 발생하는 지형 및 지질 특성인자의 상호 관련성을 규명하고, 화산도서유역에서의 지하수 유동해석을 통하여 적용가능성을 파악하고 지하수의 효과적인 관리와 이용에 적합한 방법을 제시하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 화산도서유역에서의 지하수 유동해석을 위하여 지하수 함양량은 물수지 분석에 의해 산정하였으며, 대상유역에 유한차분모델인 GMS-MODFLOW를 중심으로 지하수두 분포를 산정하고 실제 관측수도와 비교 분석하였다. 또한 분석대상 유역에 지하수 관정의 양수기간에 따른 지하수두 변동포를 계산하였다. 분석 결과 분석관정에서 일시에 양수할 경우 유속벡터가 초기의 정류상태에 대한 유속벡터와 다소 큰 차이가 있는 결과를 나타내고 있으나, 이후로 안정된 수두결과를 보이고 있으며, 지하수 유동경로 각 방향으로 분석되어 유출되는 것으로 판단된다.

정류상태하에서의 WINFLOW 모델에 의한 모의발생 결과치는 산정된 계산치와 관측치의 오차백분율(0.011~0.080의 범위)를 비교해 볼 때 지하수두 분포를 신뢰도 수준에 있어 잘 반영하고 있는 것으로 판단되며 동서방향으로는 일정 수두분포, 남북방향으로는 완만하고 안정된 수두경사를 이루는 것으로 분석되었다. 분석유역에서의 지하수 유동은 남측에서 하천지역으로 안정된 유동형태를 보이고 있으며, 각 지점에 대한 입자추적은 상류에서 양수지점까지 비교적 직선에 가까운 형태를 보이고 있으나 양수지점의 하류부에서는 양수량의 크기에 따라 영향반경도 많은 차이를 나타내었다. P 및 Pl관정의 동시 양수인 경우에는 P지점 또는 Pl지점의 단일정일 경우보다 영향반경의 크기가 증가한 것 보다는 다소 복잡해진 양상을 보였으며 입자경로는 직선에 가까운 형태를 가지는 것으로 분석되었다. 양수량에 따른 영향원을 살펴보면 지하수가 남측에서 북측(병성천)으로 유동할 경우에 상류부보다 관정 측면과 하류부에서 더욱 크게 지하수두가 감소하는 변화경향을 나타내어 지하수유동방향 및 유속이 관정의 영향원 분포에 많은 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

With regard to oversea mineral resources development, recent trend has been changed from a simple capital investment to a direct development of the resources. In relation to the stability of a slope in large open-pit coal mine, groundwater system was investigated and the validity of horizontal drainage hole was evaluated in Pasir coal mine, Indonesia. In this work, various field tests were carried out for a characterization of groundwater system, which included in-situ permeability measurement, tracer test and monitoring of groundwater levels. Especially, the influence of SM river on the characteristics of the groundwater flow system was mainly inspected. For the permeability measurement, Guelph permeameter was employed, and was found that sandstone was more permeable than mudstone and coal seam. From a comparison of lithological structure and the results of groundwater level monitoring, sandstone and thin coal seam with fractures were found to be a main channel for groundwater flow. In the results of tracer tests, the effect of SM river on the groundwater system depends on the geological structure of its base. To identify the effect of horizontal drainage holes, 2-D groundwater modeling was performed. Four different cases were tested, which are different from the length of drainage hole and the existence of pond on top of the slope. To enhance the drainage effect and slope stability, the drainage hole should be drilled to the depth of coal seam layer, which provides a main pathway of groundwater flow and embedded by sandstone. For this purpose, correct identification of surrounding geology should be preceded.
