      A key challenge to fight the Covid-19 pandemic is to minimise the airborne transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Highly crowded indoor environments, such as schools, become possible hotspots for virus spreading because the ...
    • Verification of filtered two fluid models for reactive gas‐solid flows 

      Cloete, Jan Hendrik; Cloete, Schalk; Radl, Stefan; Amini, Shahriar (SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      CFD simulations of fluidized bed reactors are generally limited to the laboratory scale because of the fine grid sizes that are required to resolve complex particle clustering phenomena. The filtered Two Fluid Model (fTFM) ...
    • Verification of Thermal Comfort of Combined Convection-Radiation Air Conditioning System using Building Structure 

      Kawamura, Akihiro; Chiba, Tomohiro; Takahashi, Mitsuhiro; Nakamoto, Shun-ichi; Hasebe, Hisashi; Akimoto, Takashi (SINTEF Proceedings;9, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)
      Combined Convection-Radiation Air Conditioning System using Building Structure combines the advantages of TABS and convection air conditioning. In ordinary TABS, pipes are buried in the frame, but here pipes are laid on ...
    • Viscoelastic flow simulations in disordered porous media 

      De, S.; Kuipers, J.A.M.; Peters, E.A.J.F. (SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      We investigate creeping flow of a viscoelastic fluid through a three dimensional random porous medium using computational fluid dynamics. The simulations are performed using a finite volume methodology with a staggered ...
    • Visualizing bacteria-carrying particles in the operating room: exposing invisible risks 

      Sadeghian, Parastoo; Duwig, Christophe; Romero, Mario; Sadrizadeh, Sasan (SINTEF Proceedings;9, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)
      Surgical site infections occur due to contamination of the wound area by bacteria-carrying particles during the surgery. There are many surgery preparation conditions that might block the path of clean air in the operating ...
    • Visualizing user perception of daylighting: a comparison between VR and reality 

      Hegazy, Muhammad; Ichiriyama, Ken; Yasufuku, Kensuke; Abe, Hirokazu (SINTEF Proceedings;5, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2020)
      This study introduces a novel method to investigate human perception of daylight in an interactive and immersive way, using game-engine and virtual reality (VR). The proposed method produces highly realistic renderings in ...
    • VOC contributions from building materials, furniture, and user equipment in low emitting and modular classrooms 

      Yang, Aileen; Holøs, Sverre Bjørn; Hak, Claudia; Vogt, Matthias; Schmidbauer, Norbert; Fjellheim, Øystein (SINTEF Proceedings;9, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)
      This study aimed to assess whether building materials, furniture, and user equipment are sources of pollution that would influence the need for ventilation. Between 2017-2020, measurements were taken in four regular ...
    • VOLUME-OF-FLUID SIMULATION OF GAS DISSOLUTION IN LIQUID: RISING BUBBLES AND CO2 TRAPPING 

      PATSOUKIS-DIMOU, Alexandros; MAES, Julien (SINTEF Proceedings;6, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Multiphase multispecies transport is an essential field of study for a wide range of applications including bubble reactors and CO2 storage in the subsurface. Modelling of these processes is challenging due to the ...
