Water shutoff and conformance improvement: an introduction
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)This paper provides an introduction to the topic of water shutoff and conformance improvement. After indicating the volumes of water produced during oilfield operations, a strategy is provided for attacking excess water ... -
Water temperature and dietary histidine affect cataract formation in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) diploid and triploid yearling smolt
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-09)The aim of the present study was to investigate cataract development in diploid (2N) and triploid (3N) Atlantic salmon smolts and post-smolts at two water temperatures (10 and 16 °C) given diets with different histidine ... -
Water-Accelerated Decomposition of Olefin Metathesis Catalysts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Water is ubiquitous in olefin metathesis, at levels ranging from contaminant to cosolvent. It is also non-benign. Water-promoted catalyst decomposition competes with metathesis, even for “robust” ruthenium catalysts. ... -
Waterflood Efficiency and Single-Phase Flow Properties of Carbonate Porous Media
(Doctoral thesis, 2009-12-17) -
Waterside convection and stratification control methane spreading in supersaturated Arctic fjords (Spitsbergen)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Seasonally ice covered in the past, the fjords in West Spitsbergen turn into being perennially ice free in the present. This feedback to Arctic amplification of global warming changes gas fluxes at the atmosphere-ocean ... -
Wave and wind conditions in the Red Sea. A numerical study using a third generation wave model
(Master thesis, 2010-06-01)In order to understand how waves behave and how other parameters can interact between ocean and atmosphere we can use a numerical model. For the Red Sea basin wave measurements are absent and due to that a WAM wave model ... -
Wave breaking in KdV equations with higher nonlinearity
(Master thesis, 2023-05-31)The undular bore is a wave propagating in shallow water, often resulting from tidal forces that cause a slight change in the wave heights. Favre (1935) did a physical experiment where an undular bore was created and he ... -
Wave breaking in long wave models and undular bores
(Master thesis, 2015-12-18)Bores are a well known phenomena in fluid mechanics, although their occurrence in nature is relatively rare. The circumstances in which they occur is usually when a tidal swell causes a difference in surface elevation in ... -
Wave breaking in the BBM-equation
(Master thesis, 2019-04-02) -
Wave Breaking in Undular Bores with Shear Flows
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)It is well known that weak hydraulic jumps and bores develop a growing number of surface oscillations behind the bore front. Defining the bore strength as the ratio of the head of the undular bore to the undisturbed depth, ... -
Wave energy potential in the area of Sulafjorden and Breisundet
(Master thesis, 2020-04-07) -
Wave Extremes in the Northeast Atlantic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-03)The objective of this study is to compute 100-yr return value estimates of significant wave height using a new hindcast developed by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute. This regional hindcast covers the northeast ... -
Wave loads on ocean infrastructure increase as a result of waves passing over abrupt depth transitions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Abrupt changes in water depth are known to lead to abnormal free-surface wave statistics. The present study considers whether this translates into abnormal loads on offshore infrastructure. A fully non-linear numerical ... -
Wave Measurements Using Ship Mounted Sensors as part of the One Ocean Expedition
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)This thesis examines the design and post-processing aspects of wave measurements from ship mounted sensors. The wave measurements exhibit accuracy comparable to wave measuring drifters while offering enhanced spatial ... -
Wave modulation by strong currents: A study in the Lofoten Maelstrom and surrounding areas
(Doctoral thesis, 2024-06-07)Bølger og strøm – allestedsnærværende trekk ved havet – er i en konstant tilstand av gjensidig vekselvirkning. Disse prosessene forårsaker sterkt inhomogene sjøtilstander. Samspillet dem imellom regulerer utvekslingsprosesser ... -
Wave response to an arbitrary motion of a load on an ice plate
(Master thesis, 2022-06-22) -
Wave runup estimates at gentle beaches in the northern Indian Ocean
(Master thesis, 2012-10-01)The aim of this study is to estimate the wave runup on selected beaches around the northern Indian Ocean. The runup has been estimated using ERA-Interim, which is the latest global atmospheric re-analysis produced by the ... -
Wave-shaped round functions and primitive groups
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Round functions used as building blocks for iterated block ciphers, both in the case of Substitution-Permutation Networks (SPN) and Feistel Networks (FN), are often obtained as the composition of different layers. The ... -
Wavefield Migration Imaging of Moho Geometry and Upper Mantle Structure Beneath Southern New England
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The crust and upper mantle beneath the New England Appalachians exhibit a large offset of the Moho across the boundary between Laurentia and accreted terranes and several dipping discontinuities, which reflect Paleozoic ... -
Waveform classification of airborne synthetic aperture radar altimeter over Arctic sea ice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-08-19)Sea ice thickness is one of the most sensitive variables in the Arctic climate system. In order to quantify changes in sea ice thickness, CryoSat-2 was launched in 2010 carrying a Ku-band radar altimeter (SIRAL) designed ...
