Cavitation Tunnel
The cavitation tunnel is used to investigate the hydrodynamic performance of different type of ship hulls, propulsors and other hydrodynamic objects.
Laboratories
All our labs have designated contact persons. SINTEF builds and operates important research infrastructure and we have over 100 laboratories that form the basis for our research. From zero-emission buildings, to ocean basins, nano, CO2, electrical engineering and full-scale aquaculture sites - world-leading laboratories, from ocean space to outer space.
Elly
Introducing Elly, a fully electric research workboat, operating in the Trondheimsfjord with home port in Trondheim. Elly is dedicated for developing innovation, performing work tasks by supporting her as an available infrastructure and as a sensor...
Marine Cybernetics Laboratory
The Marine Cybernetics Laboratory is a wave basin, especially suited for tests of marine control systems, due to the relatively small size and advanced instrumentation package. It is also suitable for more specialized hydrodynamic tests (for example...
Model Production
The models to be tested in the hydrodynamic laboratories at SINTEF Ocean are manufactured in our engineering workshop. In production of both hull- and propeller models, high accuracy and use of skilled experienced people are of the utmost importance.
Ocean laboratory
The Ocean Basin is a cutting-edge facility designed for hydrodynamic model testing of ships and marine structures and full-scale hydrodynamic testing of components such as electric cables.
The maritime energy systems laboratory
Our maritime energy systems laboratory is unique in its capabilities as a research facility. We offer a system architecture that will accommodate any power system or component on ships, with the ability to build complex hybrid systems.
Towing Tank
The Towing Tank is designed for hydrodynamic scaled-model testing of ships and marine structures.
