Although multi-disciplinary coupled simulations are considered important and necessary by many to reflect reality into the numerical simulations, there still exist many obstacles which inhibit such numerical simulations. There still exist very few software packages in the market which satisfy user needs in such numerical simulations. In many instances, self-development of software packages which allow for such coupled simulations will also be quite burdensome simply because considering multi-physics require more knowledge, experience, time . Parallel processing of the simulations will definitely be required to aquire meaningful coupled solutions within a given practical time. Under the international collaborative efforts between CCSE/JAERI and Fraunhofer SCAI, a generic code coupling mechanism and implementation are developed for multi-disciplinary simulation of continua in a meta-computing environment. Two libraries, STAMPI, by CCSE/JAERI, and MpCCI, by Fraunhofer SCAI, will be implemented together to allow such simulations.

Evaluation of radionuclide migration in geologic media is of great importance in safety assessment for shallow land disposal specially for TRU nuclides because of inadequate data based on field test. As a cooperative research between JAERI and CIRP, a field test of radionuclide migration was conducted under natural condition using Sr-90, Np-237 and Pu-238 to obtain migration data of the radionuclides in actual aerated layer under natural rainfall condition. Values of input parameters to an existing evaluation equation of nuclide migration were determined on the basis of the results of laboratory experiments of batch and column methods and field investigation. Migration distribution of the radionuclides calculated with the determined values showed reasonable agreement with the measured distribution of the field test. This confirmed an applicability of the evaluation equation for radionuclide migration to actual aerated layer under natural condition.

In order for the numerical simulations to reflect textquotedblleft real-worldtextquotedblright phenomena and occurrences, incorporation of multidisciplinary and multi-physics simulations considering various physical models and factors are becoming essential. However, there still exist many obstacles which inhibit such numerical simulations. For example, it is still difficult in many instances to develop satisfactory software packages which allow for such coupled simulations and such simulations will require more computational resources. A precise multi-physics simulation today will require parallel processing which again makes it a complicated process. Under the international cooperative efforts between CCSE/JAERI and Fraunhofer SCAI, a German institute, a library called the MpCCI, or Mesh-based Parallel Code Coupling Interface, has been implemented together with a library called STAMPI to couple two existing codes to develop an textquotedblleft integrated numerical simulation systemtextquotedblright intended for meta-computing environments.

Migration experiments of Np(V) and Am(III) have been performed using a column system, to investigate migration behavior of Np and Am through a column packed with loess, taken from Shanxi, China. Adsorption mechanisms of Np and Am on the loess were examined by a chemical extraction method. In the case of the Np, most of Np adsorbed on the influent edge of the column. The Np adsorbed on the loess was mainly controlled by surface complexation. However, the migration of Np in the loess media could be roughly evaluated by using the distribution coefficient. In the case of the Am, particulate Am species was formed in the influent solution and moved in the column. The Am adsorbed on the loess was controlled by irreversible reactions. The migration behavior of particulate Am in the loess media could be expressed by the filtration theory.

Adsorption mechanisms and models of Sr(II), Np(V), Pu(IV) and Am(III) on the loess were investigated from their adsorption and desorption properties. The distribution coefficient of Sr and Np was 2 - 3 orders of magnitude smaller than that of Pu and Am. The adsorption of Sr and Np was mainly controlled by the ion exchange reaction. On the other hand, the adsorption of Pu and Am was mostly controlled by the selective chemical reactions with Fe and Mn oxyhydroxide/oxide and humic substances. On the basis of the experimental results, several types of adsorption models of the radionuclides, considering elemental concentrations, adsorption mechanisms and kinetics, were proposed for setting up the analytical systems of radionuclide migration in the loess media.

The objective of the presented study is to develop a LC (Loose Coupling) simulation system implementing two commercial numerical simulation software packages linked by a library called MpCCI (Mesh-based paralle Code Coupling Interface). This library is an essential and a robust tool for carrying out interpolations of the physical variables (values) between different numerical models. We have programmed the MpCCI library into two commercial codes, Mecano and Star-CD, and implemented the developed LC simulation system on a distributed parallel computer by a MPMD (Multi Program Multi Data) parallel programming style. Numerical simulation results of an aneurysm diseased artery acquired by dynamic CSD (Computational Structure Dynamics) coupled transient CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) undergoing pulsation blood flow with the LC simulation system is presented which illustrate the mechanical behaviors of the arterial wall.
