Prof. Eirik Grude Flekkøy, UiO, Prof. Knut Jørgen Måløy, UiO.
Research is carried out in association with the Group for Aadvanced Ccompounds and Complex Systems of the University of Oslo.
The group works with the physics of condensed matter, hydrodynamic and static physics. The group has access to a number of research and experimental facilities such as light diffusion, optical instrumentation ultra-fast and infra-red photography in addition to synchrotron x-ray diffusion equipment. The research will be based on experiment and theoretical methods.
The research has 2 main aims: (1) to extend the understanding of the main mechanisms behind super-oxygenated water’s properties and (2) to develop the technological properties and applications of this water.
The research will be based on both experimental and theoretical methods developing from basic principles to more usable applications. For example, to arrive at a better physical understanding of the role of magnetic fields in the production of oxygenated-water in order to achieve a more robust and effective technology. The planned experimental activities will include the diffusion of x-rays, electrons and neutrons. OS is also equipped to undertake electrical and rheological measurements. On the theoretical side, use will be made of gitter Boltzmann studies and simulations based on Brownsk and molecular dynamics together with classic analytical methods. The available resources and infra-structure for physics research includes:
Experimental infra-structure at the University of Oslo
Light diffusion equipment, x-ray diffusion equipment, electro-microscopy equipment, ‘Table-top’ microscopes and arrangements for optical instrumentation and ultra-speed cameras.
Experimental equipment available at cooperating institutions
The synchrotron equipment in Grenoble and the nuclear reactor at Kjeller in Norway.
