The behaviour and characteristics of a turret-moored FPSO subjected to loading from waves, wind and current are investigated. Of particular importance is to find out if fishtailing instabilities may occur, and if such instability can be disclosed by simple criteria involving basic parameters of the system’s...
STF80MK S07026Substantial amounts of produced water, containing elevated levels of radionuclides (mainly 226Ra and 228Ra) are discharged to the sea as a result of oil and gas production on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. So far no study has assessed the potential radiological effects on marine biota...
...describes an experimental and numerical study on the effect of bilge keels on a specific offshore vessel. Forced roll and free decay experiments were carried out at MARINTEK in a joint project between VARD, DNV GL and MARINTEK during Nov. 2012. The 1:25 ship model was tested both with and without bilge keels...
...production site to the consumers. We describe a real-life ship routing and scheduling problem from the LNG business, with both inventory and berth capacity constraints at the liquefaction port. We propose a solution method where the routing and scheduling decisions are decomposed. The routing decisions consist...
The piston and first sloshing modes of two-dimensional moonpools with recess are investigated. Dedicated forced heave experiments are carried out. Different recess lengths are tested from 1/4 to 1/2 of the length of the moonpool at the mean waterline. A theoretical model to calculate...
Analysis of velocity and kinetic energy fields is presented to explain the mechanisms behind power saving. An extensive experimental program, including flow field measurements without and with ESD, is conducted to provide additional validation material on the present ship and to verify the ESD performance...
Measurements were performed inside and in the wake of a commercial salmon sea cage. The key instrumentation included the following: sea bottom-mounted acoustic Doppler current profilers providing continuous concurrent flow velocity and turbulence information about the water columns; vessel-mounted acoustic...
Modern vessels are designed to collect, store and communicate large quantities of ship performance and navigation information through complex onboard data handling processes. That data should be transferred to shore based data centers for further analysis and storage. However, the associated transfer cost...
...environments. Clothing and textiles produced from synthetic fibres such as polyester (PES), polyacrylic (PAC) and nylon (PA) are considered some of the main sources of MPFs. However, there has been little focus on the environmental fate and effects of MPFs compared to microplastic particles and fragments. Our...
...for supply and demand of nickel in batteries and non-battery applications up to 2050. Using a demand-driven supply-constrained dynamic material flow model, we analyse how the growing demand for nickel to batteries can be met in the future, the potential bottlenecks in the supply chain, and the consequences...
...deformation in concrete. The intention was to find a relation between autogenous deformation and relative humidity in three different mixes with three different binders. Another objective was to compare and verify the measurements of the new test rigs with corresponding samples tested according to SINTEF’s...
Petromaks 2 project "Formation and behaviour of thin oil films and evaluation of response methods including HSE", in the following short "Thin oil films" has the objective to achieve new knowledge more efficient and safe oil spill response operations for releases of condensates and light crude oils that may...
