To reduce the cost and improve the reliability in offshore wind farms is a critical issue with high R&D-efforts. Offshore wind energy produced far from shore (e.g. in the North Sea), and nearly all energy produced by new renewable energy sources, will have to pass two or more power electronic converters...
We study and develop numerical tools that can be used to improve the resolution of EOR simulations and, in particular, capture accurately the impacts of the injected chemicals on the recovery process. Our research has primarily focused on innovative methods aimed at enhancing the efficiency of reservoir...
