Unlocking Room Temperature Formation of Li-Rich Phases in Aluminum Anodes for Li-ion Batteries
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Aluminum (Al) has been an attractive anode candidate for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) since the 1970s. While the formation of β-LiAl is considered the origin of the Li storage capability in Al anodes, multiple Li-Al phases ... -
Unraveling the Impact of Land Cover Changes on Climate Using Machine Learning and Explainable Artificial Intelligence
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)A general issue in climate science is the handling of big data and running complex and computationally heavy simulations. In this paper, we explore the potential of using machine learning (ML) to spare computational time ... -
Unraveling the role of biofuels in road transport under rapid electrification
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Biofuels have been the predominant option for climate change mitigation in road transport for decades, but the recent expansion of electric vehicles may bring into question their key role. In this work we model the energy ... -
Unstable two phase flow in long vertical pipes
(Master thesis, 2018)Flow instabilities can cause operational problems when transporting multiphase mixtures of oil and gas in offshore risers and pipelines. Several types of flow instabilities have been studied and are well documented. This ... -
Unsteady flow in wicket gate and runner with focus on static and dynamic load on runner
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2007:155, Doctoral thesis, 2007)This thesis presents a study on unsteady flow at the inlet of the runner in a Francis turbine. The main goal has been to find a connection between the design of the wicket gate and the dynamic load on the runner due to ... -
Unveiling bulk and surface radiation forces in a dielectric liquid
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Precise control over light-matter interactions is critical for many optical manipulation and material characterization methodologies, further playing a paramount role in a host of nanotechnology applications. Nonetheless, ... -
Upgrading protected areas can improve or reverse the decline in conservation effectiveness: Evidence from the Tibetan Plateau, China
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Protected areas (PAs) are considered essential for maintaining biodiversity. Several governments would like to strengthen the management levels of their PAs (as shorthand for a hierarchy in PA administrative governance) ... -
Upscaling of wind turbine blades
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2003:94, Doctoral thesis, 2003)The wind turbine industry is rapidly growing, and wind turbines are growing in size accordingly. For the wind turbines in the past and up to the present commercial size, aerodynamic forces have basically governed all blade ... -
Urban alien plants in temperate oceanic regions of Europe originate from warmer native ranges
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)When colonizing new areas, alien plant species success can depend strongly on local environmental conditions. Microclimatic barriers might be the reason why some alien plant species thrive in urban areas, while others ... -
Urban wind at the Gløshaugen campus
(Master thesis, 2019)En modell av Gløshaugen campus skalert 1: 320 ble opprettet for å evaluere vindforholdene på Gløshaugen for å utvikle og validere en numerisk modell. For å undersøke vindforholdene ble det brukt røyk og korn for visualisering ... -
