CFD modelling of pollutant transport
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2018)With the increase of the human activities in the Arctic, including land and sea, is resulting in higher release of pollutants to the environment. These pollutants can be categorised as gases released in the air such as carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, NOx, etc., and waste released in seas such as chemical toxins, microplastic, etc. This work presents a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study ... -

Comparative Evaluation of Four RANS Turbulence Models for Aerosol Dispersion from a Cough
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-16)The study of aerosol dispersion in indoor environments is essential to understanding and mitigating airborne virus transmission, such as SARS-CoV-2. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has emerged as a valuable tool for investigating aerosol dispersion, providing an alternative to costly experimental methods. In this study, we investigated the performance of four (4) Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes ... -
A comparative study of CO2 heat pump performance for combined space and hot water heating
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-08-20)Heat pumps used for combined space and hot water heating are often used in modern energy-efficient buildings. Performance depends on both system design (exchanger sizes, compressor efficiency, etc.) and operating conditions (inlet water temperature, ratio between space and water heating, etc.). Designs using both CO2 and HFCs, such as R410A, are available, but the relative performance of these is ... -
Comparison of Deep Learning Models for the Classification of Noctilucent Cloud Images
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-10)Optically thin layers of tiny ice particles near the summer mesopause, known as noctilucent clouds, are of significant interest within the aeronomy and climate science communities. Groundbased optical cameras mounted at various locations in the arctic regions collect the dataset during favorable summer times. In this paper, first, we compare the performances of various deep learningbased image ... -

A comparison of the energy consumption for CO2 compression process alternatives
(Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2018)The efficient transportation of large volumes of CO2 generally requires pipelines that will operate above the critical pressure of CO2. Since most capture processes release CO2 at low pressure, compression of CO2 from the point of capture to pipeline will generally be required. The compression duty can be achieved using conventional multi-stage compressors or using newer shockwave type compressors. ... -
