Dispersion of Mine Particles in Førdefjorden
(Master thesis, 2023-10-10)Førdefjorden is the site of a newly permitted submarine tailing disposal (STD) in Norway, and it is nationally debated. Major implications of an STD can be toxic compounds of the tailing, severe impacts on the benthic ... -
Pore-scale studies of CO2-hydrate sealing mechanisms - effect of salinity
(Master thesis, 2023-08-03) -
Can a dual pulsed lidar system measure the lateral coherence of turbulence?
(Master thesis, 2023-08-10)Characterizing the coherence of turbulence in the marine boundary layer faces a significant challenge due to the limited availability of offshore measurements within the relevant altitude ranges, particularly up to 250 m. ... -
Experimental Investigation of Silicon Dust Explosions in Pipes
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)Metallurgical silicon and its alloys are essential in several industries, such as solar energy, automotive, aerospace, and steel production. However, silicon dust, generated during silicon production, processing, and ... -
Hydrogen Consumption by Halophilic Microorganisms - Implications for Underground Hydrogen Storage
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)Underground Hydrogen Storage (UHS) in reservoirs and caverns is a possible solution for large-scale and long-term storage of hydrogen (H2) in the subsurface. As the cost of tech- nology installation and electricity from ... -
Microbial behavior and hydrogen consumption of Oleidesulfovibrio alaskensis - Implications for subsurface hydrogen storage
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)To reduce global warming an energy transition going from fossil fuel to renewable energy is required and energy storage opportunities to store surplus electricity are needed. Hydrogen gas (H2) is an energy carrier and can ... -

En eksperimentell oppgave på legeringer av silisium og jern
(Master thesis, 2023-06-06)Silisium og legeringer med silisium er viktige materialer innen forskjellige industrier og brukes blant annet som tilsetningsstoff. I flere typer industri brukes slike legerin- ger i form av pulver, både for enklere transport ... -
SFY: A free-drifting wave buoy for measuring surf waves
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)Breaking waves have been studied for over a century. Still, there is an insufficient understanding of wave breaking due to limited in situ data. The high variability and the energetic environment in the surf zone makes it ... -
Experimental Investigation of Silicon Dust Explosions in Pipes
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)This thesis presents an experimental study of silicon dust explosions in different pipe configurations. The experimental configuration involved a 32-litre explosion vessel connected to pipes of different dimensions, ... -
An Optimization Model for Short-Term Routing and Scheduling of Offshore Wind Maintenance
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)Maintenance costs constitute a significant portion of the total costs for offshore wind investments. Consequently, a substantial amount of research aims to mitigate these costs. Studies targeting short-term decision-making ... -
Idealized Modeling of the North Icelandic Jet
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)The North Icelandic Jet (NIJ) is a crucial component of the lower limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, supplying one-third to one-half of the overflow water transport through Denmark Strait, including ... -
Direkte bruk av nanofluider som kjølevæske i en dieselmotor
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)The work carried out in this thesis is the characterization and investigation of carbon- based nanofluids as a potential engine coolant for a single-cylinder diesel engine. Car- bon black particles could be sufficiently ... -
Trends and internal variability in Brazilian hydropower catchments
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)Hydropower is a major energy source in Brazil, and long-term hydropower production planning is crucial both for maintaining energy and water security in the country. The amount of water that is available to electricity ... -

The Effects of Diabatic Heating on the Paradigmatic LC1 and LC2 Baroclinic Lifecycles
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)Extratropical cyclones play a crucial role in determining mid-latitude weather, where the atmosphere is on average inducive to baroclinic instability. Literature has identified two lifecycle behaviors, one that is predominantly ... -
Low-level jet height’s impact on wind turbine loads: A case study
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)Over the years, wind turbines have been steadily increasing in size, with newer models boasting larger dimensions. For instance, the diameter of an installed prototype offshore wind turbine in late 2022 was over 200 m, ...
