...development, model-reduction/proxy-modelling and fit-for-purpose optimization algorithms. We have long experience both in developing simulator code that fits into optimization workflows and selecting the best optimization approaches for problems where objective (and non-linear constraint) calculations entail...
...accuracy and reliability of forecasts and simulations by continuously updating model inputs with observational data. This process reduces uncertainties, improves predictive skill, and enables better-informed decision-making in various fields such as weather forecasting, environmental monitoring, and climate...
...a selected AM process, controlled by a process plan and selected process parameters. On the way from idea to produced part, many choices are made, often based on numerical simulations and optimizations, which affect the parts' properties, quality and longevity. If any later failure or damage occurs to...
...consumes less resources and can increase the security of supply. The degradation of components in the energy system can be impacted by a number of factors, including both operational parameters, such as power and voltage, and external environment influences, such as temperature and humidity. Normally, a...

In certain geologic and hydrodynamic settings, an additional residual oil zone exists below the traditionally defined base (oil-water contact) of an oil reservoir. These residual oil zones exist where nature has already water-flooded the lower portion of an oil reservoir. To distinguish these naturally...
...any other country. Both the industry and the households have had access to electrical energy. In Norway it is common to use electrical energy for space heating, and the electricity consumption per inhabitants is among the highest in the world. From an environmental and energy efficiency point of view it...
Subsea gas blowouts and gas releases pose a threat to human life, offshore assets and the environment. A risk assessment relies amongst others on estimates of gas concentrations in the atmosphere above the release. SINTEF conducts research and risk assessments on release scenarios. Experiments on plume...
...multitude of possible applications SINTEF MiNaLab has worked with design, modelling and fabrication of piezoelectric microsystems on 150 mm wafers including materials development of piezoelectric thin films by CSD, PLD and sputtering since 2003. SINTEF MiNaLab lowers the entry barrier for this technology...
...analysis using x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. X-ray instrumentation consist in modelling, designing and testing x-ray systems for inline inspection. By combining appropriate detectors, sources and optical elements adapted to x-ray energies it is possible to tailor a x-ray system to a specific application...
...still an unresolved problem in well plugging. The annulus between casing and rock is traditionally filled with cement in selected sections of a well. SINTEF is studying how the formation itself sometimes creep towards the casing and form an even more efficient sealing barrier in a long term perspective...
Computational geometry is the research field that relates to the shape, description, and properties of physical objects. SINTEF Oslo has been a key player in this field for five decades. Read more: Computational Geometry...
...waste heat, heat from energy storage, and steam power generation. We also perform optimisation with regards to footprint to enable the retrofit integration of solar heating in existing industrial processes. In addition to process design, we have the expertise to model and design specific components required...
...constant state of change. We generate scenarios for a future Nordic and European energy system, taking the energy sector's "green" revolution into account. The scenarios are based on a large-scale integration of renewable energy sources and will enable our clients to achieve reductions in greenhouse gas...
...samples and through numerical simulations tailored to study logging through casing. In order to improve shale-bond logging interpretation, we perform laboratory experiments on hollow cylinder shale samples with acoustic logging in a cased hole, permeability measurement in the annulus, and stress and pressure...

Put briefly, co-simulation consists of making separate software modules that represent different subsystems and coupling...
...it possible to meet the future demand for feed and food, we develop methods and technology for an industrial production of low-trophic animals. The growth of marine low-trophic animals is fueled by energy from primary producers (microalgae and seaweed) and/or waste from other animals. Some examples of...
