	       Postdoc-Project:
						   Drop-flowing-film interaction 
	       
		 - Period:
 2010-01-01 -- 2012-05-31
		 - Fellowship:
 SINTEF
		 Energy Research, Low-emission LNG systems.
		 - Sponser:
 The partners GDF SUEZ,
		 Statoil and the Petromaks programme of the Research Council of Norway (193062/S60). 
		 - Description:
  Droplets
		 impinge with a flowing liquid film of various 
		 angles, thickness and velocities. The investigation will give insight
		 information on droplet behaviours in the
		 phase-separation units in LNG systems, as well as in other
		 applications, with more application-geared experimental-conditions.
