The University of Grenoble is organizing a short workshop on “Mechanics of geomaterials from micro to macro“, which will be held in Grenoble (France) on June 29 and 30, as a pre-event to the IACMAG conference in Torino. This short event will be devoted to multi-scale numerical modelling in geotechnical engineering and geomechanics. The first

Congratulations to Magnus Aa. Gjennestad and Øivind Wilhelmsen ! Their article on “Thermodynamic stability of droplets, bubbles and thick films in open and closed pores” is one of the most downloaded Fluid Phase Equilibria articles in the last 90 days. This is a major accomplishment! Their article is available in the volume 505 from 1.
Dr. Tom Bultrey, winner of the 2019 InterPore-PoreLab award for young researchers, came for a short visit in PoreLab Trondheim in the period 13-17 January 2020. He came to visit different PoreLab teams and to scope out specific collaborative projects. The program for his visit can be found here. A workshop was organised on January 13th, 2020, in his
CSC2I Spring course from 30 March – 3 April 2020, TU Delft, The Netherlands The course on Corrosion Science & Corrosion Control for Infrastructure (CSC2I) www.csc2i.tudelft.nl is an interdisciplinary course, encompassing fundamental aspects of corrosion science & technology, corrosion control and materials science for civil engineering. The course targets material classes as metals & alloys, concrete,
Lithium ion batteries are used to store and produce electric energy. During the charging- and discharging processes, net heat is released or adsorbed in the battery. Temperature is one of the most important factors for battery ageing. In this study we are seeking a fundamental understanding of one of the heat effects, the reversible heat
PhD candidate Magnus Aa. Gjennestad (PoreLab/NTNU) and Senior Researcher/Professor Øivind Wilhelmsen (SINTEF/PoreLab/NTNU) recently published the paper “Thermodynamic stability of droplets, bubbles and thick films in open and closed pores” in Fluid Phase Equilibria. In this work, a thermodynamic description was developed to study the stability of droplets, bubbles and films of water in a pore. For a particular set of conditions,
The FRIPRO project, entitled “Ultrasound-mediated transport of nanoparticles in tissue: A predictive model” and developed by Professor Catharina de Lange Davies, associated member to PoreLab, has received funding from the Norwegian Research Council. This is a main accomplishment! The project can be summarized as follow: A prerequisite for successful cancer chemotherapy is that the drugs
The competence building project “PredictCUI: Prediction of water liquid and vapour migration for mitigating corrosion under insulation” has received funding by the Norwegian Research Council. Here, Prof. Alex Hansen and Prof. Øivind Wilhelmsen from Porelab will collaborate with researchers from SINTEF Energy Research and the industry to deal with one of the major challenges at
