A comparison of different wave modelling techniques in an open-source hydrodynamic framework
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Modern design for marine and coastal activities places increasing focus on numerical simulations. Several numerical wave models have been developed in the past few decades with various techniques and assumptions. Those ... -
Comparison of Environmental impact of Hydropower and Wind Power
(Master thesis, 2022)One of the best ways to reduce the effects of climate change is to increase electricity production from renewable sources, which offers an excellent prospect for low carbon emissions and greenhouse gas reduction, However, ... -
Comparison of Geoacoustic Models for Unfrozen Water Content Estimation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This paper reviews eight geoacoustic models applied to frozen soils: crystal growth models (grain cementing, grain coating, matrix supporting, and pore filling), the weighted equation (WE) model, Zimmerman and King's model ... -
Comparison of impulse based substructuring and fully coupled analysis for offshore wind turbines
(Master thesis, 2014)With an ever increasing demand for clean renewable energy, wind energy is a rapidly expanding market. Due to noise and visual pollution as well as limited space on land, offshore wind turbines are getting more popular. One ... -
Comparison of in-situ measurements from the Norströmsgrund lighthouse to Copernicus reanalysis products
(Chapter, 2020)Here, we aim to extend the full-scale data measurements of ice conditions and the resulting structure behaviour at the Norströmsgrund lighthouse to other locations in the Baltic Sea via comparison to the met-ocean conditions ... -
Comparison of Kinematic wave and Hydraulic model simulated water level along river sections
(Master thesis, 2022)Norge har opplevd flere storflommer i de siste årene på grunn av betydelige variasjoner i sesongavhengig vannføring og nedbør. Kommunene har prioritert bruk av moderne hydrologiske modelleringsverktøy for å håndtere slike ... -
A Comparison of the classical and recent formulae of handling the effects of close and distant topographic masses in gravimetric geoid computations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2003)Different procedures for considering the effects of topographic masses in Stokes- Helmert scheme of geoid determination are reviewed. Classical integral formulae use a planar approximation of the geoid and a limited area ... -
Comparison of the condition of steel fiber-reinforced shotcrete with water-glass and alkali-free activators after more than 20 years of service in a subsea road tunnel
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The in-service condition of steel fiber-reinforced shotcrete installed more than 20 years ago as single-shell rock support lining in the Nordkapp subsea road tunnel was investigated. The novelty of this study is the ... -
Comparison of the Energy Performance between Flat-plate and Heat Pipe Evacuated Tube Collectors for Solar Water Heating Systems under Mediterranean Climate Conditions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In this paper, the energy performance of a flat-plate collector and a heat pipe evacuated tube collector exploited for domestic hot water production in the Mediterranean climate is compared. For this purpose, yearly data ... -
Comparison of the Energy Saving Potential of Adaptive and Controllable Smart Windows - A State-of-the-Art Review and Simulation Studies of Thermochromic, Photochromic and Electrochromic Technologies
(Master thesis, 2018)Today s building sector in the EU stands for about 40 % of the total energy consumption and about 75 % of all buildings are energy inefficient. By making both the new and the existing buildings smarter and more energy ... -
Comparison of the Energy Saving Potential of Adaptive and Controllable Smart Windows: A State-of-the-Art Review and Simulation Studies of Thermochromic, Photochromic and Electrochromic Technologies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Windows play a huge role in today’s buildings, allowing for outside view and providing occupants with daylight. However, windows are also often considered to be one of the weakest building components with respect to high ... -
Comparison of the environmental assessment of an identical office building with national methods
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The IEA EBC Annex 72 focuses on the assessment of the primary energy demand, greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impacts of buildings during production, construction, use (including repair and replacement) and end ... -
Comparison of the hydraulic capacity of different culvert inlet designs under sediment transport conditions
(Master thesis, 2015)Abstract Culverts are important hydraulic structures whose main purpose is to safely convey water through infrastructures crossing streams (e.g. roads). Several design guidelines exist for clear water conditions, but none ... -
Comparison of the microbiomes of two drinking water distribution systems—with and without residual chloramine disinfection
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background Residual disinfection is often used to suppress biological growth in drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs), but not without undesirable side effects. In this study, water-main biofilms, drinking water, ... -
Comparison of the NGI-ADP and AUS soil models for slope stability involving anisotropic clays
(Master thesis, 2021)En ny jordmodell som kan inkorporere anisotrop skjærstyrke har nylig blitt tilgjengelig for offentlig bruk. Denne modellen, kalt AUS jordmodell, er en totalspenningsbasert modell og opererer basert på direkte innføring av ... -
Comparison of the Svee and Thoma Stability Criteria for Mass Oscillations in Surge Tanks
(Master thesis, 2016)This thesis discusses two different criteria for the stability of surge tanks in hydropower plants. In 1910, the first stability criterion was derived by Dieter Thoma. This criterion sets a minimum cross-sectional area for ... -
Comparison of trihalomethanes in the air of two Indoor swimming pool facilities using different type of chlorination and different types of water
