A two-component nonlinear variational wave system
Peder Aursand, Anders Nordli
We derive a novel two-component generalization of the nonlinear variational wave equation as a model for the director field of a nematic liquid crystal with a variable order parame…

A combined fluid-dynamic and thermodynamic model to predict the onset of rapid phase transitions in LNG spills
Karl Yngve Lervåg, Hans L. Skarsvåg, Eskil Aursand +8
Transport of liquefied natural gas (LNG) by ship occurs globally on a massive scale. The large temperature difference between LNG and water means LNG will boil violently if spilled…
