Abstract:The rotor of a floating offshore wind turbine experiences intricate aerodynamics due to significant motion in the floating foundation, necessitating a holistic understanding through a synergistic blend of experimental and numerical methodologies. This study investigates rotor loads and the emergence of unsteady phenomena for a floating offshore wind turbine under motion. The approach compares a wind tunnel experimental campaign on a moving scale model with large-eddy simulations. Importantly, both experimental… Show more
