SINTEF projects

SINTEF has been working for the past several years in research on the manoeuvring characteristics of submarines.

Due to the demand for large dimension billets of 7000 alloys, particularly in the aerospace and transportation industry, combined with the inherent difficulties of casting this group of alloys, there is a strong demand for a casting technology and...

SINTEF pushes the boundaries of autonomous drones. Mobile and autonomous sensor systems constitute a priority area at SINTEF. We offer a large range of relevant technologies and competence within this field for mobile and autonomous systems in the...

A project leading to increased sustainability of the WtE value chain. Optimum secondary combustion chamber through advanced CFD modelling.

SINTEF has been heavily involved in both the pre-design and design phases of the Dudgeon wind farm in waters to the east of the UK.

In its quest to meet the growing demand for energy, the offshore industry is moving into ever deeper waters, and resources are being exploited in more and more demanding ocean environments. FPSOs, or Floating Production, Storage and Offloading...

In collaboration with Statoil and TNO - Netherlands, SINTEF has developed and validated a novel methodology for determining the operational limits of free-fall lifeboats.

Much of Norway's production of crude oil is transported by ship. Particularly during loading, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are released from the ship's cargo tanks to the atmosphere.

Kristiansand municipality, Child Welfare Service and Sørlandet Hospital, the Department of Child and Adolescent Mental Health, and Children, Youth and Family Affairs collaborating on a project where they are trying out one organisation through a...

As an R&D partner in NOWITECH (Norwegian Research Centre for Offshore Wind Technology), SINTEF Ocean have been actively involved in developing robust numerical tools for the design and modelling of bottom-fixed offshore wind turbines.

VELaSSCO is a EC funded Project dealing with end-user visualization of Big Data

The aquaculture company SalMar, based on the island of Frøya, has through its development company Ocean Farming, proposed a new design for an ocean salmon fish farm on exposed sites.

A large European Union consortium consisting of classification societies, shipyards, designers, ship-owners and research institutes is investigating integrated ship design and operating environments to ensure that shipping is safe and "green".

The European Union project MUNIN (Maritime Unmanned Navigation through intelligence in Networks) is studying the possibilities of realising a completely unmanned ship by looking at the need for new sensor systems, improved maintenance methods...

In a strategic internal project SINTEF has extended and integrated existing software into a new efficient simulation tool capable of simulating all phases in the launch of a free fall lifeboat in wind and waves.

Important work on the validation of shiphandling manoeuvring models is being conducted in the R&D project SimVal (“Sea Trials and Model Tests for Validation of Shiphandling Simulation Models”, founded by the Research Council of Norway).

The Cargo Ferry research project is supported by MAROFF and aims to develop an integrated concept for goods transport along the Norwegian coast and between Norway and its nearest neighbouring country.

Aircraft noise unquestionably causes annoyance, but reactions to a given noise exposure vary wildly. The Norwegian Defence Estates Agency and SINTEF ICT Acoustics have teamed up to strengthen the connection between the aircraft noise situation and...
