• Experimental Investigation into the Consequences of Release of Liquified Hydrogen onto and under Water 

      van Wingerden, Kees; Kluge, Martin; Habib, Abdel Karim; Skarsvåg, Hans Langva; Ustolin, Federico; Paltrinieri, Nicola; Odsæter, Lars Hov (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Large-scale experiments have been performed to investigate the possible consequences of realistic amounts of liquified hydrogen (LH2) encountering water. The experiments aimed at simulating an accidental release of LH2 ...
    • Liquid Hydrogen Spills on Water—Risk and Consequences of Rapid Phase Transition 

      Odsæter, Lars Hov; Skarsvåg, Hans Langva; Aursand, Eskil; Ustolin, Federico; Reigstad, Gunhild Allard; Paltrinieri, Nicola (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Liquid hydrogen (LH2 ) spills share many of the characteristics of liquefied natural gas (LNG) spills. LNG spills on water sometimes result in localized vapor explosions known as rapid phase transitions (RPTs), and are a ...
    • Risk and Consequences of Rapid Phase Transition for Liquid Hydrogen 

      Aursand, Eskil; Odsæter, Lars Hov; Skarsvåg, Hans Langva; Reigstad, Gunhild Allard; Ustolin, Federico; Paltrinieri, Nicola (Chapter, 2020)
      Safe handling of liquid hydrogen (LH2) has gained extra attention over the last years due to an increase in usage to mitigate climate changes. Rapid phase transition (RPT) is a potential safety concern when cryogens, like ...
    • Theories and Mechanism of Rapid Phase Transition 

      Ustolin, Federico; Odsæter, Lars Hov; Reigstad, Gunhild Allard; Skarsvåg, Hans Langva; Paltrinieri, Nicola (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Light hydrocarbons and hydrogen can replace high-alkane fuels with the benefit of reduced CO2 emissions. Their liquefaction to a cryogenic state is one of the most suitable solutions for storage and transport. An unexpected ...
