...mathematicians over many decades [Fulton]. It has become a rich and sophisticated theory, yielding a lot of very useful and powerful theorems and techniques. The aim of this work has been is to show how this theory can be used in effective algebraic geometry and practically in Computer Aided Geometric Design (CAGD)...
...building gigantic traditional production platforms – and in new materials. The biggest Norwegian concrete gravity platforms (Condeep) have become an icon of the Norwegian continental shelf. During the 80s, however, the petroleum industry in Norway and in other countries moved to depths that demanded new...
SINTEF is a research institute without teaching activities by itself. Instead, we supervise master and PhD students. This not only allows us to explore new research ideas but is also central in our efforts to make open-source reservoir simulation tools. Mimetic methods are promising discretizations on...
...influenced by the findings in WP2. A priori, we know that the communication channels are characterized by high mobility and strong available line-of-sight (LoS) components (a/g and a/a links), and significant path loss due to long distances (a/s links). The VHF band will continue to be used, while bandwidth...
Norwegian supplier of sustainable temperature and energy solutions PTG is joining research project Snow for the Future. This is the project's first industry partner. "We're thrilled to become a part of the team, says CEO of PTG, Terje Arnesen. For us, participating in research at such an early phase...
...it features solutions designed to look after health, safety and environmental concerns in the aquaculture industry. The aquaculture industry suffers from many work-related accidents. This is the basis for a project where SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture has designed the next generation of aquaculture...

Objective: Collect, store and analyse in service harsh weather operational data for selected case vessels (ferry and offshore vessel). Use operational data to improve 6 DOF simulation models. Short WP description: Prepare case vessel specific test programs for studies of manoeuvring performance in harsh...
This is why scientists at SINTEF Energy Research are starting up a research project with the aim of reducing emissions and enhancing the heating comfort provided by our wood-burning stoves. An important part of this project will be to optimise the design of the stoves’ combustion chambers so that emissions...
European laboratories for CO2 capture and storage – and will use almost a third of the total in Norway. NTNU and SINTEF will coordinate the international effort, which will involve building five CO2 laboratories in Trondheim. A good start to the new year for Nils A. Røkke and the rest of the SINTEF/NTNU CO2...
