SINTEF Materials and Chemistry is working on aerodynamic simulations using both complex Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and simplified engineering models. ...

SINTEF focuses on the development of green and sustainable alloys with targeted properties. The array of our laboratory facilities, including casting lab., 3D-printer, Arc Melter, heat treatment furnace, SEM/TEM, mechanical testing, and special chemistry analysis tools such as Butanol particle extraction...

... We have also developed decision support tools to aid stakeholders to select and develop the most promising logistical resources. Our tools are based on mathematical formulations of the decision problems and use complex and efficient analytical techniques from operations research to find optimal solutions...

Commercial production of marine fish and other marine organisms depends on juveniles of high quality. SINTEF combines biological and technological expertise to develop production protocols and new technology to introduce new species for farming and at the same time improve already existing feeding strategies...

...early-phase cost estimation and techno-economic analysis and optimization for research partners and industry. SINTEF has strong expertise in the field of techno-economic analysis and optimization – a discipline that combines technology and economics, placing it within a broader economic and societal context. We...

...interaction between fishing gear and the installation itself. A typical example is the over-trawling of anchor lines. SINTEF has the expertise to analyse such interactions, using both simulations and model experiments. In this way, one can assess both the risk of undesirable events and any measures to reduce such...

Knowledge and methods for reducing risk are a key research topic at SINTEF. Safety and risk management in the aquaculture industry involve human, technical and organisational factors that characterise different production systems on land, along the coast and at sea. Regulation and regulatory requirements...

...experience with various AM process categories, and associated machines ("3D printers"). SINTEF has machines for R&D purposes and some industrial machines. SINTEF has practical experience with the most common additive manufacturing (AM) processes for metals and plastics. SINTEF, often in partnership with...

The management of water and energy resources is practised by public authorities at municipal, regional and national levels. In special cases, clarification may be required in addition to what is usually needed in more normal management processes. There may be a need for the assistance of experts with...

...laboratory, and primarily addresses issues related to load current interruption. We combine our experimental research with use of simulation tools within fluid dynamics, electrostatic field theory, black box arc modelling and circuit analysis. Our services: SINTEF performs short circuit and high current...

...economic viability of wave energy. Large-scale utilisation of wave farms and their connection to grids share many challenges with other variable renewable energy systems, e.g. distance to the mainland (as with offshore wind farms) and power variability. However, some challenges are specifically related to...

By using simulators in training and education of health professionals, we can achieve greater safety for the patient, as well as a more efficient training. We investigate how surgeons can practice outside the operating room by using the available simulators, as well as developing its own. The training...

... better and cheaper are challenges that IT companies face every day. The customer's expectations shall be met in a world where constant change in environment, organization and technology are the rule rather than the exception. A solution for meeting these challenges is to share knowledge and experience...

...the most common materials for such processes, and SINTEF is also establishing/developing new materials for AM. Furthermore, characterization and testing of materials and products made by AM has been a topic in many projects at SINTEF. SINTEF has expertise and practical experience with many of the commercial...

At SINTEF Ocean, we work with product development, industrial and hygienic design as an integral part of research and development within projects aimed at the ocean industries, and the fisheries and aquaculture industry in particular. For new technology to be successful, it must work in practice. Product...

...performs field and laboratory investigations and calculation analyses of reinforced concrete. SINTEF performs field and laboratory investigations and calculation analyses of reinforced concrete. Our expertise covers both new and existing buildings and structures. In addition, we map and document the performance...

...prioritized research area and constantly developed numerical and experimental methods for design and verification of offshore wind turbines SINTEF offers several services related to offshore wind turbines. 1. Global analysis, conceptual evaluation and design optimization: Experimental and theoretical studies...

...industrial and commercial buildings. The damage assessments end in a well-documented damage report, which among other things, describes the cause of the damage and suggestions for repair. Condition- and damage analyses also provide a basis for approval criteria for various product categories and instructions...

Electric and hybrid marine power systems for increased flexibility and reduced emissions and fuel consumption. The trend of the last decades has been increased use of hybrid electric propulsion systems, for the most part powered by diesel engines or gas turbines. However, vessels with other power sources...

SINTEF researches international negotiations, which often last up to two weeks and include multiple parallell sessions and working group meetings, together with many other opportunities for interactions surrounding the negotiations. Examples of meetings SINTEF participates in are the Convention on Biological...
