In the present study, a 3-dimensional (3D) numerical model was developed to mimic the micro porous structure of a geological $CO_2$ storage reservoir. Especially, 3D modeling technique assigning random pore size to a 3D micro porous structure was devised. Numerical method using CFD (computational fluid dynamics) was applied for the 3D micro porous structure to calculate supercritical $CO_2$ flow field. The three different configurations of 3D micro porous model were designed and their flow fields were calculated. For the physical conditions of $CO_2$ flow, temperature and pressure were set up equivalent to geological underground condition where $CO_2$ fluid was stored. From the results, the characteristics of the supercritical $CO_2$ flow fields were scrutinized and the influence of the micro pore configuration on the flow field was investigated. In particular, the pressure difference and consequent $CO_2$ permeability were calculated and compared with increasing $CO_2$ flow rate.

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.

The 3D simulations of the shielding concrete and the Rotary Specimen Rack(RSR) in the Korea Research Reactor-1&2(KRR-1&2) were carried out in present work. Four main dismantling processes, which are the removal of the RSR, reactor core region, beam tube, and thermal column and activated concrete, were selected for the graphic simulation by the consideration of the activation, worker training, work difficulty and so on. On the basis of these, we constructed their 3D CAD models and then drawn and reviewed their dismantling processes. In this study, the 3D simulation results of the shielding concrete and the RSR among main components are also presented and discussed.

Direct methanol fuel cell(DMFC) with proton exchange membrane (PEM) has advantages over the conventional power source (e.g. vehicle). DMFC, however, has a problem to be solved such as methanol crossover, high anodic overpotential and limiting current density, etc. The physicochemical phenomena in DMFC can be described by coupled PDEs (partial differential equations), which can be solved by a PDE solver. In this paper, we utilized a commercial software FEMLAB to solve the PDEs. The FEMLAB is one of the software programs available which are developed as a solver for building physics problems based on PDEs and is designed to simulate systems of coupled PDEs which may be 1D, 2D, 3D, non-liner and time dependent. We performed simulation using the Tafel equation as an electrochemical reaction model to analyze methanol concentration profile in DMFC system. We confirm that the rapid decrease of methanol concentration at anodic catalyst layer with the increase of the current density is a main reason of the low performance in DMFC through simulation results.

Permalloy thin films fabricated by rf magnetron sputtering showed the excellent magnetic properties, i.e., an effective permeability of over 2000 at 1$\mu\textrm{m}$ thick up to 10 MHz, a saturation magnetization of 10∼12 kG, a coercive force of 0.2∼1 Oe, resistivity (p) is 20 ${\mu}$$\Omega$cm. In order to control the magnetic anisotropy direction of the films in a wafer scale, two parallel Nd-Fe-B permenant mangnets were used to provide the magnetic field during the sputtering process. As a result, the anisotropy direction was successfully controlled when the two magnets were seperated with a distance of 70 mm. 3D simmulation of the magnteic fields around the wafer during sputtering were in accord with the above result.

A Compton camera, which is based on Compton kinematics, is a very promising gamma-ray imaging device in that it could overcome the limitations of the conventional gamma-ray imaging devices. In the present study, the image quality of a rotating Compton camera was evaluated by using 4-D Monte Carlo simulation technique and the applicability to nuclear industrial applications was examined. It was found that Compton images were significantly improved when the Compton camera rotates around a gamma-ray source. It was also found that the 3-D imaging capability of a Compton camera could enable us to accurately determine the 3-D location of radioactive contamination in a concrete wall for decommissioning purpose of nuclear facilities. The 4-D Monte Carlo simulation technique, which was applied to the Compton camera fields for the first time, could be also used to model the time-dependent geometry for various applications.

The kinetic analysis of energetic materials using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is proposed. Friedman Isoconversional method is applied to DSC experiment data and AKTS software is used for analysis. The proposed kinetic scheme has considerable advantage over the standard method based on One-Dimenaionl Time to Explosion (ODTX). Reaction rate and product mass fraction simulation are conducted to validate extracted kinetic scheme. Also a slow cook-off simulation is implemented on $B/KNO_3$ for validating the applicability of the extracted kinetics scheme to a practical thermal experiment.

저수지에 설치된 물순환장치는 저수지 수문상황과 자연조건의 변화에 따라 유동특성이 상이하므로 연구자가 고려하는 다양한 조건에서 현장 측정하기는 불가능하다. 이런 문제를 대체하는 방안으로 전산유체유동(CFD) 모형을 적용한 모사를 실시함으로서 다양한 조건에 따른 효과를 평가할수 있게 된다. 본 연구에서는 전산유체유동을 통한 대류식 물순환장치의 유동영향범위와 수질변화 등을 평가하고, 다양한 조건에서 모사를 실시하여 최적운영방안을 도출하고 실제운영에 활용토록 하고자 한다. 수체거동을 모사하기 위해 실제 저수지를 형상화한 Domain을 3가지로 구성하였다. 첫번째는 반경 20m, 깊이 40m Domain에 물순환장치를 중앙에 설치한 것이며(D20), 두 번째는 반경 40m, 깊이 40m에 두 개의 물순환장치를 양쪽에 설치하였고(D40), 세 번째는 반경 100m, 깊이 40m로 설정(D100)하였고 양쪽에 두 개의 물순환장치를 설치한 것으로 구성하였다. CFD에 의한 개별 대류식 순환장치의 유동모사결과 D20은 시간의 경과에 따라 수온성층이 하강하는 현상이 나타났으며 이러한 결과로 판단할때 40m 간격으로 대류식 순환장치를 설치하여 운영하면 탈성층이 나타날 수 있을것으로 판단되었다. D40에 대하여 CFD에 의한 유동모사를 실시하였으며 시간의 경과에 따라 수온성층의 변화는 나타나지 않았다. 이러한 결과로 판단할때 40m 간격으로 한줄로 대류식 순환장치를 설치하여 운영하면 성층을 깨는 현상은 나타나지 않을 것으로 평가되었다. 반면 Dye테스트시 심층에서 상승한 수체는 수온성층 표면에서 수평방향으로 계속 퍼져 나가면서 옆장치에서 상승된 수체와 혼합이 활발히 이루어 지는 현상을 나타내었다. 장치간 거리가 100m인 대류식 물순환장치에 의한 유동모사시 수온성층의 변화는 전혀 나타나지 않았으며, Dye테스트시 심층에서 상승한 수체는 수온성층 위에서 수평방향으로 퍼져 나가면서 옆에서 가동되는 장치에서 상승된 수체와 혼합 현상을 나타내기는 하나 D40보다 혼합시간이 더 걸리는 것으로 나타났다.
