Proposal for a Strategic University Program
in Computational Science and Engineering at NTNU
5 Dissemination and exploitation
5.1 Dissemination
Below we list the most important information channels to be used for
reporting activity and for disseminating results obtained within the
project.
There will be a technical report series for the project in
which all scientific results are reported. Reports which hold a
sufficiently high quality will be submitted to scientific
(refeered) journals or international conference proceedings.
Text books and/or lecture notes may be used for the purpose of
collecting larger parts of the obtained results.
There is a need to reach a broader audience than the patrons of
international scientific journals. To this end, there will be
written articles, accessible to and aimed at engineers who are
employed in Norwegian industry. Such articles will be submitted
to national journals like ``Teknisk Ukeblad'', ``GEMINI'' etc,
and will in particular focus on the practical implications and
benefits of the obtained results.
A project evaluation describing the experience with
interdisciplinary collaboration within CSE at NTNU will be
written.
There will be a WWW home page which contains, at all times, the
present status of the project. All technical reports will be
made available once they appear.
At least one conference with international participance will be
organized as a part of the project. The agenda will comprise
general CSE activity as well as particular sessions within the
field of marine fluid mechanics.
Seminars with participants from Norwegian industry as well as
internal seminars (NTNU) and workshops will be organized.
Case studies (within marine fluid mechanics) relevant to
Norwegian marine industry will be performed to demonstrate the
applicability and potential of the developed simulation tool.
5.2 Exploitation
The potential for future exploitation of results and experience gained
within the project can be summarized as follows:
The developed software will be used as a platform for future
education and research in computational science and engineering
at NTNU and SINTEF.
Initiatives will be taken to commercialise the developed
software for industrial use within marine related Norwegian
industry. This may be done either through existing software
vendors or by establishing a new vendor.
The developed software will be used by NTNU/SINTEF to study
relevant industrial problems within marine fluid mechanics.
The experience gained (regarding interdisciplinary
collaboration) from this project will be used to build similar
relations between the MS and CS and other engineering
departments at NTNU
