The modeling of floating tidal stream energy turbine (FTSET) systems demands significant computational resources, especially when incorporating fully coupled models that integrate hydrodynamics, mooring, motion response, and their interactions. In this study, a novel hybrid numerical model for FTSET systems has been developed, utilizing the open-source software OpenFOAM. The hydrodynamic characteristics of three-bladed vertical-axis turbines are simulated in steady, three-dimensional wave–current numerical tanks using an unsteady actuator line method (UALM). The interFoam two-phase Navier–Stokes solver within OpenFOAM is utilized to manage the kinematic characteristics of the floating platform. Mooring dynamics are addressed using the mass–spring–damper model (MoorDyn), and turbine wake dynamics are resolved using a buoyancy-modified RANS turbulence model. The comprehensive model can simulate wave, flow, mooring dynamics, platform motion, and the interactions between the turbine and platform within FTSET systems. To validate the model, several scenarios are analyzed, and experiments are conducted to validate the numerical results. The model accurately predicts platform motion responses and mooring line tensions, especially under wave–current conditions, capturing the interconnected effects of platform motion during turbine rotation. Additionally, the model extends predictions of turbine–platform wake development and interaction.

“…More recent publications have considered the combined, although decoupled effects of prescribed motions and waves on tidal turbines. Huang et al (2022) and Wang et al (2022) studied tidal rotors undergoing prescribed heave and pitch motions, respectively, in the presence of regular waves. Both studies used CFD simulations and considered prescribed harmonic motions, showing significant force and power fluctuations.…”
