Numerical Investigation of Sloshing under Roll Excitation at Shallow Liquid Depths and the Effect of Baffles
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Sloshing is relevant in several applications like ship tanks, space and automotive industry and seiching in harbours. Due to the relationship between ship and sloshing motions and possibility of structural damage, it is ... -
Multi-sector partnerships in the urban development context: A scoping review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The existing research on urban development has gradually changed from policy-led management to multi-sector participation in co-design, aiming to create a more livable urban ecosystem. The goal of this paper is to identify ... -
A new CFD-based framework for modelling the interaction of open ocean aquaculture structures and complex free surface hydrodynamics
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021:203, Doctoral thesis, 2021)The work presented in this PhD thesis provides the first numerical framework for the detailed simulation of open ocean aquaculture structures in the sea environment. It enables the simulation of the fluid-structure interaction ... -
Urban Facility Management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This paper aims to illustrate where facility management (FM) is having an impact on the urban environment and what other work needs to be done to easier facilitate achievement of the sustainable development goals (SDGs). ... -
Barriers and potential solutions to the diffusion of solar photovoltaics from the public-private-people partnership perspective – Case study of Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Norway is a major renewable energy developer in Europe, mainly through its development of hydropower. Research has shown that solar energy also has potential in Norway, however, the cumulative installed photovoltaic capacity ... -
Challenges of the Facilities Management and Effects on Indoor Air Quality. Case Study “Smelly Buildings” in Belgrade, Serbia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)One of the key objectives and challenges nowadays is to live in safe and healthy cities. Accordingly, maintaining good air quality is one of the preconditions for achieving this goal, which is not a simple task given the ... -
An Interactive platform for low-cost 3D building modeling from VGI data using convolutional neural network
(Journal article, 2021)The applications of 3D building models are limited as producing them requires massive labor and time costs as well as expensive devices. In this paper, we aim to propose a novel and web-based interactive platform, VGI3D, ... -
Railway ballast stabilising agents: Comparison of mechanical properties
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Expensive and time-consuming maintenance operations are routinely performed to preserve the ballast mechanical properties in railway lines. Binding agents are used for ballast stabilisation. Four different additives based ... -
Laboratory study of wave-induced flexural motion of ice floes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Wave-ice interactions involve complex physical processes. Well-designed laboratory investigations are indispensable for studying these processes. In the present study, laboratory experimental data on saline ice obtained ... -
Reconstructing facade semantic models using hierarchical topological graphs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Semantic information in 3D building models is of vital importance for various applications in terms of smart cities. To infer the semantic information and localize the components on building facades, this article proposes ... -
Can calorimetry be used to measure the melting rate of deicers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Chemical deicers are used in winter maintenance of roads and runways to melt ice and restore a bare pavement. The melting rate of these deicers is a fundamental performance factor, but good test methods to quantify the ... -
Improving tropospheric corrections on large-scale Sentinel-1 interferogramsusing a machine learning approach for integration with GNSS-derived zenithtotal delay (ZTD)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Sentinel-1 mission with its wide spatial coverage (250 km), short revisit time (6 days), and rapid data dissemination opened new perspectives for large-scale interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) analysis. ... -
A new hybrid method to improve the ultra-short-term prediction of LOD
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Accurate, short-term predictions of Earth orientation parameters (EOP) are needed for many real-time applications including precise tracking and navigation of interplanetary spacecraft, climate forecasting, and disaster ... -
Effect of Temperature and Prewetting for Ice Penetration with Sodium Formate
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Granular sodium formate (NaCOOH) is a popular deicer used at airports. It is mainly used to weaken compacted snow/ice and thereby facilitate mechanical ice removal. Earlier research has developed a set of methods quantifying ... -
Organosilane and lignosulfonate as innovative stabilization techniques for crushed rocks used in road unbound layers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The tunnelling operations connected to the construction of the new Norwegian E39 highway generate a considerable amount of blasted rocks. The local use of these rocks as construction materials in the unbound layers of the ... -
Bicycle rolling resistance under winter conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In many cold regions of the world, the percentage of trips made by bicycle drops drastically during the winter months. To facilitate increased bicycle usage during the winter, we studied the effect of typical winter ... -
