Norway has made efforts to improve safety at sea and ability to reduce consequences of shipping accidents in regions under Norwegian jurisdiction and to fulfill international obligations for specific NAV areas in the High North. Following from a number of accidents along the Northern Norway coastline...
...shared cost RTD project supporting Key Action 2 (Global Change, Climate and Biodiversity) of Theme 4: Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development (Contract No. EVK2-CT-1999-00008).

This book is an introduction to the theory, practice, and implementation of the Lattice Boltzmann (LB) method, a powerful computational fluid dynamics method that is steadily gaining attention due to its simplicity, scalability, extensibility, and simple handling of complex geometries. The book contains...
Leer (HLL) and Harten-Lax-van Leer-Contact (HLLC) schemes. Herein, LTS denotes a class of explicit methods stable for Courant numbers greater than one. The original LTS method (R.J. LeVeque, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 22 (1985) 1051–1073) was constructed as an extension of the Godunov scheme, and successive...
...purpose of this paper is to show relevant dimensions for presenting railway punctuality data. We discuss alternatives for visualisation and analysis, and show principles and practical examples. The study has benefitted from access to a complete database of Norwegian punctuality data including all data that...
The occurrence of dampness and mold in the indoor environment is associated with respiratory-related disease outcomes. Thus, it is pertinent to know the magnitude of such indoor environment problems to be able to estimate the potential health impact in the population. In the present study, the moisture...
Glass represents an important and widely used building material, and crucial aspects to be addressed include thermal conductivity, visible light transmittance, and weight for windows with improved energy efficiency. In this work, by sintering monolithic silica aerogel precursors at elevated temperatures...
