This chapter presents numerical computations for floating offshore wind turbines for a machine of 10-MW rated power. The rotors were computed using the Helicopter Multi-Block flow solver of the University of Glasgow that solves the Navier-Stokes equations in integral form using the arbitrary ...
CFD developmentParallel ComputationIn this paper new improvements are presented on development of CFDmodel for simulation of a floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT)platform in large waves and strong winds. The CFD model is aCartesian grid method for multi-phase free surface flows ...
A floating offshore wind turbine includes: a floating body (3); a plurality of wind turbines (1; WTG 1 to WTG 9); a movable mooring mechanism (4, 7) mooring wind turbines (1) on the ocean while maintaining relative positions of the wind turbines (1) and also changing the relative po...
Developed a CFD-based aero-hydro-mooring model for Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWT).Applied morphing mesh for dynamic motion.Considered turbine-platform-mooring interactions.Enhanced stability and efficiency with a Novel Mooring System (NMS).Improved FOWTs designs for increased energy efficiency....
An analytical approach and numerical solution to determine coupled aeroelastic and hydroelastic response of floating offshore wind turbines of arbitrary shape to combined wind and wave loads is presented. The model considers simultaneously the aerodynamic and hydrodynamic loads on an FOWT and integrates ...
Nowadays the demands for floating offshore wind (FOWT) have exceeded 5MW with the rapidly growing wind market. The aerodynamic environment of FOWT is more complex than onshore or fixed offshore wind turbine due to the large motions of floating platforms. The platform motion, especially pitch an...
Compared with bottom-fixed wind turbines, the supporting platform of a floating offshore wind turbine has a larger range of motion, so the gyroscopic effects of the system will be more obvious. In this paper, the mathematical analytic expression of the g
