To properly manage and remediate groundwater contaminated with chlorinated hydrocarbons such as trichloroethylene (TCE), it is necessary to assess natural attenuation processes of contaminants in the aquifer along with investigation of contamination history and aquifer characterization. This study evaluated natural attenuation processes of TCE at an industrial site in Korea by delineating hydrogeochemical characteristics along the flow path of contaminated groundwater, by calculating reaction rate constants for TCE and its degradation products, and by using geochemical and reactive transport modeling. The monitoring data showed that TCE tended to be transformed to cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cis-1,2-DCE) and further to vinyl chloride (VC) via microbial reductive dechlorination, although the degree was not too significant. According to our modeling results, the temporal and spatial distribution of the TCE plume suggested the dominant role of biodegradation in attenuation processes. This study can provide a useful method for assessing natural attenuation processes in the aquifer contaminated with chlorinated hydrocarbons and can be applied to other sites with similar hydrological, microbiological, and geochemical settings.

A simple and efficient scheme is presented that attempts to implement the site-specific denitrification rate in the reactive transport modeling for the nitrate in groundwater. A series of correlation analyses were conducted using 133 datasets obtained from different nitrate-contaminated sites to find the empirical relationships between denitrification rates and various subsurface properties. Based on Pearson's correlation analysis, the soil organic carbon concentrations showed a statistically significant correlation (r = 0.75, p < 0.05) with the denitrification rates. A linear regression was performed, which could be utilized to effectively determine the site-specific denitrification rate based on the soil organic carbon concentration of a site. The proposed method is expected to effectively replace the conventional methods which either were too complicated for practical application or impose large uncertainties that might end up with unreliable results.

본 연구에서는 확산에 의해 발생하는 시멘트 방벽의 변질 과정을 반응성용질이동 모델링을 통해 장기간 동안 예측하고자 하였다. 모델링 결과 50,000년 후 시멘트의 변질은 30cm까지 진행되었다. pH는 13.0에서 11.86까지 감소하였으며 이는 알칼리 이온의 감소, 포틀랜다이트(portlandite)와 CSH (Calcium Silicale Hydrate)광물의 용해/침전반응에 의해 결정되고 있었다. 공극률 또한 portlandite와 $CSH2.0(Ca_2SiO_3(OH)_2:0.17H_2O)$의 용해에 의해 가장 큰 영향을 받고 있었으며 최고 약 0.3 점도 증가하였다. 우라늄의 용해도 역시 증가하고 있었으며 이는 pe의 증가에 기인하고 있었다. 본 연구 결과는 장기간의 시멘트 변질이 pH, pe, 공극률을 변화시킴으로서 핵종의 이동을 증가시킬 수 있음을 보여주고 있다.

Two-dimensional modeling studies using TOUGHREACT were conducted to investigate the coupling between flow and transport developed as a consequence of differences in density, dissolution/ precipitation, and medium heterogeneity. The model includes equilibrium reactions for aqueous species, kinetic reactions between tile solid phases and aqueous constituents, and full coupling of porosity and permeability changes resulting from precipitation and dissolution reactions in porous media. Generally, the evolutions in the concentrations of the aqueous phase are intimately related to the reaction-front dynamics. Plugging of the medium contributed to significant transients in patterns of flow and mass transport.

Mining activities play a significant role in environmental pollution by producing large amounts of tailings which comprise heavy metals. The impressive increase in mining activities in recent decades, due to their high influence on the industry of developing countries, duplicates the need for a substantial effort to develop and apply efficient measures of pollution control, mitigation, and abatement. In this study, our objective was to investigate the effect of simulation of the leachate, pH and inflow intensity of transport of $Pb^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, and $Cd^{2+}$ through Lakan lead and zinc plant tailings, in Iran, and to evaluate the modeling efficiency by comparing the modeling results and the results obtained from previous column studies. We used the HP1 model and the PHREEQC database to simulate metals transport through a saturated soil column during a 15 day time period. The simulations assumed local equilibrium. As expected, a lower pH and inflow intensity increased metal transport. The retardation of heavy metals followed the order $Zn^{2+}$ > $Pb^{2+}$ > $Cd^{2+}$ and the removal concentrations of Cd, Pb, and Zn at the inflow intensity critical scenario, and Cd and Pb at inflow acidity critical scenario exceeded the allowable EPA and Iranian's 1053 standard thresholds. However, although the simulation results generally agreed well with the results of the column study, improvements are expected by using multi-dimensional models and a kinetic modeling approach for the reactions involved. The results of such investigations will be highly useful for designing preventative strategies to control reactive transport of hazardous metals and minimize their environmental effects.

Fluid model based numerical analysis is done to simulate a low damage etch back system for 20 nm scale semiconductor fabrication. Etch back should be done conformally with very high material selectivity. One possible mechanism is three steps: reactive radical generation, adsorption and thermal desorption. In this study, plasma generation and transport steps are analyzed by a commercial plasma modeling software package, CFD-ACE+. Ar + $CF_4$ ICP was used as a model and the effect of reactive gas inlet position was investigated in 2D and 3D. At 200~300 mTorr of gas pressure, separated gas inlet scheme is analyzed to work well and generated higher density of F and $F_2$ radicals in the lower chamber region while suppressing ions reach to the wafer by a double layer conducting barrier.

A review of probability density function(PDF) methodology and direct numerical simulation for the purpose of modeling turbulent combustion are presented in this study where particular attention is focused on the modeling problem of turbulent molecular mixing term appearing in PDF transport equation. Existing mixing models results were compared to those evaluated by direct numerical simulation in a turbulent premixed medium with finite rate chemistry in which the initial scalar field is composed of pockets of partially burnt gases to simulate autoignition. Two traditional mixing models, the least mean square estimations(LMSE) and Curl#s model are examined to see their prediction capability as well as their modeling approach. Test calculations report that the stochastically based Curl#s approach, though qualitatively demonstrates some unphysical behaviors, predicts scalar evolutions which are found to be in good agreement with statistical data of direct numerical simulation.

먹는물 수질기준(0.3 mg/L)을 자주 초과하는 고농도의 용존 철(Fe)은 특히 국내 충적층 지역 천부 지하수의 개발 이용(특히, 강변여과 적용)을 제한하는 중요한 원인이 되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 반응성용질이동모델링을 이용하여 지하수 내 용존 철을 효과적으로 저감하기 위한 하나의 방법으로서 '산소가 풍부한 물을 대수층에 주입한 후 양수하는 기법의 효용성에 대하여 모사해 보았다. 모사 결과, 산소가 풍부한 물을 주입함으로써 양수된 지하수의 철 농도를 뚜렷이 저감할 수 있으며, 양수량이 주입량에 비해 4배가 되더라도 용존 철의 농도는 먹는물 수질기준 이하로 매우 낮게 유지됨을 보여주었다. 또한, 대수층 내에서의 철수산화물 침전에 의해 야기될 수 있는 크로깅 및 투수율 저하도 미미한 수준인 것으로 평가되었다. 본 논문에서는 주입-양수 기법에 의한 대수층 내에서의 철 저감의 기작과 공간적 규모에 대해서도 토의하였다.
