Tutorials Example 1 The example explains how to use the mimetic pressure solver to solve the single-phase pressure equation for a flow driven by Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. Example 2 The example shows to use the mimetic framework to set up a solver that is identical to the classical TPFA solver...

The company produces and develops customized micro structured devices and microfluidic platforms made from plastics for a wide variety of applications. Active microfluidic devices such as micro pumps off...
Claudia Archetti: Matheuristics for routing problems (slides here). Due to the advances in exact methods and in technology, several mixed integer linear programming (MILP) models can be solved to optimality or close to optimality within a reasonable amount of time. This has encouraged a number of researchers...
...substances now found in everything from our clothes to cosmetics and electronics? Are nanoparticles harmful to the environment – or are these invisible particles safer than we think? These are just some of the questions to which SINTEF researcher and environmental chemist Andy Booth wants to find the answers...
...established by trial-and-error to achieve acceptable welds. Industries are often very conservative with regards to applying the numerical modelling for welding due to the lack of efficient tools as well as cost considerations. With the rapid increase of computational capacity and better understanding...
European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101007071. Trondheim-based research institutes SINTEF Energy Research and SINTEF Ocean are both taking part in a new collaborative research and innovation project that will develop and demonstrate a next generation testing...
... prevent undesirable incidents and give them more time to care for patients. The researchers have reviewed literature and conducted interviews with nursing staff and managers at three of the hospitals using the concept. They compared and analysed existing hospitals and planned hospital projects. Less...
Flat organisations confuse foreign workers, and this in turn reduces Norwegian industrial efficiency. By Åse Dragland Norwegian researchers are now getting to grips with this issue. In collaboration with Grande Entreprenør and Kværner Verdal, SINTEF is kicking off a project to find a way of organising...
...incompressible, two-phase flow. To solve these flow equations, the module offers a standard two-point flux-approximation (TPFA) method for pressure and explicit and implicit transport solvers using single-point upstream mobility weighting, which can be combined in sequential solution procedures. Tutorials...
... Scientists at SINTEF/NTNU and the University of Oslo have been awarded NOK 25 million by the Research Council of Norway for investments in equipment for surface analysis. “This will be one of the biggest and most important investments we have ever had in advanced material characterisation,” says...
...up low-emission hydrogen, key challenges – such as high costs, infrastructure gaps, and policy barriers – need to be addressed to build robust and sustainable hydrogen supply chains. Insights from pioneers like Japan and the Netherlands offer valuable knowledge. The International Energy Agency (IEA) is...
...technology and IT students in 28 countries. In Norway, 4572 students took part, including 1971 technology students. The technology students voted SINTEF into a strong third place, beaten only by StatoilHydro and Aker Kværner, but ahead of Hydro, Den Norske Veritas, the Kongsberg Group, Norconsult and Multiconsult...
University of Oslo are the main research partners in the project. Accenture and Capgemini are are industry partners. The role of the industry partners will be two-fold; one as actor and user of the results as developers of new services, and they have access to different development projects within the governmental...
...'Kompaktor' – a machine developed by Orkel. It has the unique ability to compact and package a variety of bulk materials – everything from maize and chippings to cod heads, providing considerable environmental benefits and better use of resources. The basic idea behind the research project COMPACT is...
Hafslund, Statoil and the Kongsberg Group are just some of the companies which have tried this out. Researchers have interviewed employees in Norwegian companies, and have talked to Indians who have worked in Norway. ”Very little research has been carried out into what happens when small and medium-sized...
...lifeboat project carried out by Statoil and Gassco operations. MARINTEK has contributed in the project with forward distance (sail-away) analyses and full-scale field measurements for the free-fall lifeboat FF34 for Draupner. Various modifications of the engine and propulsion system have been investigated...
...partners in 8 countries to foster nanomedicine innovation and facilitate regulatory approval. SINTEF is part of the project "European Nanomedicine Characterization Laboratory (EU-NCL)" funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program . Its main objective is to reach a level...
Software systems have developed to the point that we use and depend upon them daily in the same way that we depend upon traditional infrastructures and utilities. The value of sensitive information in computer systems is constantly increasing, and the same can be said for the corresponding threats, but...
Equinor and its partners will disclose a dataset from the Sleipner field; the world's first offshore CCS plant, in a push to advance innovation and development on the field of CO2 storage. Since 1996, the Sleipner field has been used as a facility for carbon capture and storage by Equinor as operator...
The quality of CAD models are highly varying depending on the originating CAD system and the maner in which the CAD system facilities is employed. The structuring of a model into surface patches is often defined more from the modeling history than the actual shape of the object. Furthermore, translation...
