Two-phase flow of a yield-stress fluid in a porous medium Contact: Laurent Talon (laurent.talon@universite-paris-saclay.fr), Alex Hansen (alex.hansen@ntnu.no) Context: Complex fluid flows play a key role in many industrial processes. Among non-Newtonian rheological behaviors, we focus here on yield-stress fluids, which only flow when the applied stress exceeds a critical value. Below this threshold, the material
Congratulations to Associate Professor Raffaela Cabriolu, associated member of PoreLab, and Dr. Francesca Bleken from SINTEF Industry. Their proposal on “Multiscale dynamics of the semi-catalytic Rochow-Müller process” received funding from the Research Council of Norway through the FRIPRO program. DYNCAT, acronym for “Multiscale dynamics of the semi-catalytic Rochow-Müller process” aims to provide a highly predictive
Prof. Wilhelmsen, PI of Research Themes 5 and 8 in PoreLab, has just received an ERC Starting Grant for the research project InterLab: “Unravelling the fundamentals of transport across the vapor-liquid interface”. Congratulations! In the project, Wilhelmsen and his group will bring new understanding and methods to predict transport of heat and mass across vapor-liquid
It is with great enthusiasm that the Centre for Advanced Study (CAS) unveils the two chosen Young CAS Principal Investigators (PIs) for the upcoming two-year term: Professor Francesca Refsum Jensenius from the University of Oslo, who offers a penetrating analysis of the democratic processes in India, and Researcher Gaute Linga from The Njord Centre, University
Sustainability: NTNU and NGI are seeking for sustainable alternatives to replace cement in quick-clay stabilization projects NTNU and NGI has recently started the project “Bærekraftig Grunn: Sustainable Stable Ground”, a large-scale interdisciplinary research project funded by RCN and will run from 2022 till 2026. The project is coordinated by Dr. Ali Amiri at the Department
The X-ray group at the department of Physics, NTNU, joined the consortium established by 15 European Universities and research centers, entitled EXCITE (Electron and X-ray microscopy Community for structural and chemical Imaging Techniques for Earth materials). The project EXCITE is organised under the European program H2020-INFRAIA-2020. It is coordinated by the University of Utrecht, The
We are very happy to announce that two INTPART applications directly connected to PoreLab were selected for funding under the 2019 RCN call. INTPART – the “Programme for International Partnerships for Excellent Education, Research and Innovation” – aims at the development of long-term relations between Norwegian higher education and research institutions in a group of
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
