...up low-emission hydrogen, key challenges – such as high costs, infrastructure gaps, and policy barriers – need to be addressed to build robust and sustainable hydrogen supply chains. Insights from pioneers like Japan and the Netherlands offer valuable knowledge. The International Energy Agency (IEA) is...
...substances now found in everything from our clothes to cosmetics and electronics? Are nanoparticles harmful to the environment – or are these invisible particles safer than we think? These are just some of the questions to which SINTEF researcher and environmental chemist Andy Booth wants to find the answers...
Tutorials Example 1 The example explains how to use the mimetic pressure solver to solve the single-phase pressure equation for a flow driven by Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. Example 2 The example shows to use the mimetic framework to set up a solver that is identical to the classical TPFA solver...
