• Casimir force and its relation to surface tension 

      Høye, Johan Skule; Brevik, Iver Håkon (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      From energy considerations there is reason to expect that the work done by Casimir forces during a slow displacement of the parallel plates reflects the free energy of the surface tension of the adjacent surfaces. We show ...
    • Casimir force between a half-space and a plate of finite thickness 

      Høye, Johan Skule; Brevik, Iver Håkon (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Zero-frequency Casimir theory is analyzed from different viewpoints, with the aim of obtaining further insight into the delicate Drude-plasma issue that turns up when one considers thermal corrections to the Casimir force. ...
    • Casimir friction between dense polarizable media 

      Høye, Johan Skule; Brevik, Iver Håkon (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      The present paper—a continuation of our recent series of papers on Casimir friction for a pair of particles at low relative particle velocity—extends the analysis, so as to include dense media. The situation becomes, in ...

      Høye, Johan Skule; Brevik, Iver Håkon (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)

    • Numerical Simulations of Flow Past a Truss Tower with an Evaluation of Tower Shadow Models for Wind Turbines 

      Hagen, Torbjørn Ruud (Master thesis, 2011)
      The performance of steady-state tower shadow models for a wind turbine truss tower have been evaluated. The Reynolds-Averaged-Navier-Stokes (RANS) approach, in conjunction with the $k-omega$ Shear-Stress-Transport (SST) ...
    • Presence of negative entropies in Casimir interactions 

      Høye, Johan Skule; Brevik, Iver Håkon; Milton, Kimball A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Negative entropy in connection with the Casimir effect at uniform temperature is a phenomenon rooted in the circumstance that one is describing a nonclosed system, or only part of a closed system. In this paper we show ...
    • Radiative corrections to van der Waals interaction in fluids 

      Waage, Magnus Heskestad (Master thesis, 2012)
      The van der Waals interaction energy is derived for a homogenous fluid of polarizable particles. Low-temperature corrections to the van der Waals interaction energy are computed numerically for three cases: Dilute media ...
    • The reality of Casimir friction 

      Milton, Kimball A.; Høye, Johan Skule; Brevik, Iver Håkon (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      For more than 35 years theorists have studied quantum or Casimir friction, which occurs when two smooth bodies move transversely to each other, experiencing a frictional dissipative force due to quantum electromagnetic ...
