Numerical simulations of turbulent liquid‐liquid dispersions with quadrature‐based moment methods
(SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)The accurate description of droplet dynamics in turbulent liquidliquid dispersions is of great importance in many industrial applications, especially when the economy of the process is determined by the involved mass ... -
Numerical Studies of Co2 Leakage Remediation by MICP-Based Plugging Technology
(SINTEF Proceedings;7, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is a technology for sealing leakage paths to ensure the safe storage of CO2 in geological formations. In this work we introduce a numerical simulator of MICP for field-scale ... -
Numerical study of coal particle gasification up to Reynolds numbers of 1000
(SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)The influence of turbulent structures on the gasification of coal particles, in particular on the char consumption and surface temperature, is studied . Existing submodels for char gasification are mainly based on results ... -
Numerical study the influence of balcony in college dormitory on indoor environment in winter: A case study in Jinan, China
(SINTEF Proceedings;9, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)The ventilation rate of dormitory in winter affects the living quality and learning state of students, while the balcony will affect the indoor ventilation of dormitory. In order to explore the influence of different ... -
Odour problems in buildings – result of 682 cases
(SINTEF Proceedings;9, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)Various odours can cause a negative perception of the indoor air quality. The intensity of the odour can fluctuate for example due to weather conditions, ventilation, and use of the building. In addition, the degree of ... -
ON MODELLING ELECTROCHEMICAL GAS EVOLUTION USING THE VOLUME OF FLUID METHOD
(SINTEF Proceedings;6, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2020)In this work we describe the various building block relevant in simulating electrochemical gas evolution using Volume of Fluid (VOF) method. These building blocks are implemented in the VOF solver available in OpenFOAM® ... -
On pragmatism in industrial modeling
(SINTEF Proceedings;1, Chapter, 2015)Many natural or industrial processes are of extreme complexity, and where the time- and length scales range from an atomistic level to years and kilometers. Often the processes or phenomena consist of multiple sub processes ... -
On pragmatism in industrial modeling. Part III: Application to operational drilling
(SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter, 2017)In this paper, we will apply the concepts of pragmatic industrial modelling to the development of a real time drilling support tool. We develop requirements to such a modelling tool, regarding both input and output, model ... -
On the Distinctiveness of Noble Gases in Injected Co2 from Background Fluids
(SINTEF Proceedings;7, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)A comprehensive monitoring program for CO2 storage sites is an integral part of designing CCS projects. Once a CO2 anomaly is observed or suspected, the source of the CO2 may be identified through evaluation of geochemical ... -
Operation status and improvement of the integrated hybrid VRF system
(SINTEF Proceedings;9, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)In recent years, the demand for energy conservation, the best energy mix, and thus air conditioning with energy options has increased. For this purpose, an integrated hybrid Variable refrigerant flow system (called hybrid ... -
Oscillatory flow and mass transport in a coronary artery
(SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)Pulsatile flow is intrinsic to the cardiovascular system and is driven by the rhythmic beating of the heart. As a system for mass transport, the cardiovascular system hosts a variety of biochemical and cellular species ... -
