Spray Icing on ONEGA Vessel- A Comparison of Liquid Water Content Expressions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2022)The hazards associated with ice accretion primarily due to impinging freezing sea spray on ship structures are considered among serious safety concerns for ships operating in the colder regions. An accurate sea-spray icing-estimation model to evaluate the ice accumulation during operations in these regions can make marine operations safer. The accuracy of the present icing models for estimating icing ... -
Stability of Vessels in an Ice-free Arctic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09)One consequence of the declining ice cover in the Arctic is increased areas of open seas. These new open sea areas lead to some challenging aspects related to ship stability. Longer fetch lengths, associated with build-up of larger waves followed by increased conditions for sea spray icing on vessels is one aspect. Open seas in combination with cold atmospheric temperatures is a prerequisite for ... -

Study of Ice Adhesion Behavior of SK One Component Polyurethane
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2016-12)Ice adhesion causes many serious problems such as aircraft accidents, navigational issues on ships, and power loss on wind turbines. These challenges are mainly associated with the acute behavior of ice adhesion. The ice adheres when water seeps into the microscopic pores of the material substrate and freezes, thereby, forming an interlocking mechanism. Therefore, surface roughness has a significant ... -
Study of Materials’ Impact Properties for Arctic Marine Structures
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2016-12)It is well understood that sea ice is one of the biggest problems for the safety and reliability of ships and marine structures operating in the Arctic. Specially designed ships, also known as ‘icebreakers’, are usually used to clear ice to make way for merchant and cruise ships. Even then, the ship’s staff must be extremely careful with speed and steering. Heavy impacts of ice result in fatigue and ... -

A study of the socioeconomic factors influencing migration in Russia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-19)Russia has experienced population decline in years and the economic development in Russia is largely restricted by labor shortage, particularly for the Far North and East region. In order to explore the migration mechanisms, six socioeconomic factors were selected to explore the influences on the net migration. Data from the 82 regions covering four time periods (2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015) was ... -
Study of Wind Chill Factor using Infrared Imaging
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-08-29)This paper presents a study of wind chill factor using infrared imaging. Wind chill factor is the cooling sensation due to the exposure of wind temperature environment. The wind chill factor depends on air temperature, wind velocity, and humidity. Wind chill poses serious health risks. Various wind chill index models are given in the literature. The wind chill factor is closely associated with the ... -

Study on the effect of temperature on the leaching of contaminants from Ballangen Tailings Deposit, Norway-A statistical method
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019)Temperature is one important factor that affects the leaching of contaminants from tailings deposit. However, randomness issue due to the precision of the instrument, the variation of ambient temperature, the individual skill of the lab technician etc., is inevitable and will affect the results when we evaluate the dependence of two parameters. In this study, a statistical method was developed to ... -
