...we list some applications of the GAIA II project outside of intersections and self-intersections. Foot points and closest points on surfaces For a point X, we want to find the closest point on a polynomial surface patch p, and its parameter value. The closest point is always on the border on the domain...

...be led from Trondheim and will have an industrial department on Raufoss, which will help to cement the Trondheim-Raufoss axis – a link that is already quite central in Norwegian goods manufacture. At the same time, companies from other parts of the country, such as Kongsberg and the Sunnmøre region, are...
Laboratory – has been testing a copy of a section of the deck of the much delayed Yme platform in the North Sea. The results of the tests are confidential, and are the property of Talisman. However, what the SINTEF scientists can talk about is that the test programme meant that they had to construct a gigantic...
...become a major environmental culprits, not least due to developments in digitalization and artificial intelligence. Computers produce heat and need to be cooled down in order to perform calculations accurately and avoid damage. Data centres spend 30-50 percent of their overall energy use on cooling their...
...research scientist at SINTEF Energy, has scientifically determined the most effective way to cool down your favourite drink, just in time for Christmas and New Year's. Is there anything better than a cold drink? But how long does it really take to cool it down? "I've found the answer whether you prefer...
...experiments for detection of oil in and under ice. Shell Global Solutions LightTouch system (LTS) is an ethane gas sensor which can be used to detect methane gases from oil trapped in or under ice. The system was tested with oil under ice in the Cold Region Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) in...

We encourage you to send information on new benchmarks and new best known solutions to us so the results we present here are as up to date as possible. We require a detailed solution specification (see Documentation under benchmark), and a pointer to a publication where the solution method is described...
...it freezes to form ice. Many other materials melt and solidify in the same way. By using the properties of one of these materials, we – a research team in Norway – have made a huge advance in the work to create a green energy store to heat homes and holiday cabins. We have created a small tank which...
His eyes move quickly between the screen and the traffic. The digital glasses he is wearing follow whatever he is looking at – so-called eye tracking. While the driver is entering the address on a digital map, half his time is being spent looking at the screen and his fingers. This experiment is part of...
...sustainable and efficient hydrogen production. With the growing use of renewable energies, the interest in water electrolysis has increased considerably in recent years. In particular, PEM water electrolysis based on polymer electrolyte membranes is under development of different companies and research...
Solutes, by changing the fluid and rock properties, modify the flow. Water-based EOR methods consist of adding active chemical or biological substances that modify the physical properties of the fluids or/and the porous media at the interface between oil and water. The active EOR chemicals may either...
