• Avoiding Snow and Ice Formation on Exterior Solar Cell Surfaces - A Review of Research Pathways and Opportunities 

      Jelle, Bjørn Petter; Gao, Tao; Alex Mofid, Sohrab; Kolås, Tore; Stenstad, Per Martin; Ng, Serina (Integrating Data Science, Construction and Sustainability;ICSDEC 2016, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Today energy-efficient and energy-harvesting buildings experience an ever-increasing interest and demand. Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) may in this respect represent a powerful and versatile tool for reaching ...
    • Building Integration of Aerogel Glazings 

      Gao, Tao; Jelle, Bjørn Petter; Gustavsen, Arild (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      The recent building practices have shown that aerogel glazings can be used as a multifunctional building envelope component for different purposes. Nevertheless, the distinctive physical properties and energy performance ...
    • CFD Simulations to Determine Wave Forces on a Row of Cylinders 

      Kamath, Arun; Bihs, Hans; Alagan Chella, Mayilvahanan; Arntsen, Øivind Asgeir (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      The open source Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model REEF3D is used to simulate interaction of low steepness linear waves and high steepness 5th-order Stokes waves with a single cylinder and linear arrays of two, three, ...
    • Climate Adaptation of School Buildings through MOM – A Case Study 

      Grynning, Steinar; Gaarder, Jørn Emil; Lohne, Jardar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The aim of the study was to map routines and planning tools concerning climate adaptation measures in buildings based on an analysis of a case building. The case was used to assess the strategy and main challenges of ...
    • Dynamic metabolism modeling as a decision-support tool for urban water utilities applied to the upstream of the water system in Oslo, Norway 

      Govindarajan, Venkatesh; Ugarelli, Rita Maria; Sægrov, Sveinung; Brattebø, Helge (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      The paper presents, first, the ‘Dynamic Metabolism Model’ (DMM), developed by the authors, followed by an application to the city of Oslo, capital city of Norway. The time period considered for the analysis is 2013-2043. ...
    • Three-dimensional CFD modeling of wave scour around side-by-side and triangular arrangement of piles with REEF3D 

      Ahmad, Nadeem; Bihs, Hans; Kamath, Arun; Arntsen, Øivind Asgeir (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Sediment transport and resulting local scour in marine and coastal environments can lead to the failure of structures. The knowledge and understanding of erosion and sediment transport mechanisms and the correct prediction ...
    • Urban water system metabolism assessment using WaterMet2 model 

      Behzadian, Kourosh; Kapelan, Zoran; Govindarajan, Venkatesh; Brattebø, Helge; Sægrov, Sveinung; Rozos, Envangelos; Makropoulos, Christos; Ugarelli, Rita Maria; Milina, Jadranka; Hem, Lars J. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      This paper presents a new “WaterMet2” model for integrated modelling of an urban water system (UWS). The model is able to quantify the principal water flows and other main fluxes in the UWS. The UWS in WaterMet2 is ...
