• Atmospheric Contamination of Coastal Cities by the Exhaust Emissions of Docked Marine Vessels: The Case of Tromsø 

      Zubiaga, Asier; Madsen, Synne; Khawaja, Hassan; Boiger, Gernot (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-03)
      Docked ships are a source of contamination for the city while they keep their engine working. Plume emissions from large boats can carry a number of pollutants to nearby cities causing a detrimental effect on the life quality and health of local citizens and ecosystems. A computational fluid dynamics model of the harbour area of Tromsø has been built in order to model the deposition of CO2 gas emitted ...

    • CFD modelling of pollutant transport from a docked marine vessel: Multiphysics 2019 [poster] 

      Madsen, Synne; Asier, Zubiaga; Khawaja, Hassan; Boiger, Gernot (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2019)
      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 ...
    • Multiphysics Analysis of CFRP Charpy Tests by varying Temperatures 

      Andleeb, Zahra; Strand, Cathrine Høgmo; Malik, Sohail; Hussain, G; Khawaja, Hassan; Boiger, Gernot; Moatamedi, Mojtaba (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites have emerged as a major class of structural materials that have a significant potential use as a substitute for metals in aerospace, marine, automotive, and architecture due to their higher-strength-to-weight-ratio. CFRP is well suited for various applications, but their mechanical properties such as ‘low-velocity impact resistance’ are not well ...
