Investigating Morison Modeling of Viscous Forces by Steep Waves on Columns of a Fixed Floating Offshore Wind Turbine (FOWT) Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Open
Mean and slowly varying wave loads on floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) need to be estimated accurately for the design of mooring systems. The low-frequency drift forces are underestimated by potential flow theory, especially in stee…

A Wave Drift Force Model for Semi-Submersible Types of Floating Wind Turbines in Large Waves and Current Open
The correct prediction of slowly varying wave drift loads is important for the mooring analysis of floating wind turbines (FWTs). However, present design analysis tools fail to correctly predict these loads in conditions with current and m…

Effect of body motion on the wave loads computed with CFD on the INO-WINDMOOR floater Open
CFD simulations were carried out on the 1:40 model of the INO WINDMOOR floater in regular waves to extract hydrodynamic loads, both on the structure, the single columns and sections from each column. Three different approaches for the plat…

Assessment of nylon versus polyester ropes for mooring of floating wind turbines Open
With the development of floating wind turbines comes the need for mooring systems suitable for shallow water depths. Compliance becomes challenging for mooring systems composed of chain and wire rope. Polyester ropes can improve compliance…

Modelling of Synthetic Fibre Rope Mooring for Floating Offshore Wind Turbines Open
Fibre ropes offer beneficial properties for mooring of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). However, the mooring line’s stiffness is both load-history and load-rate dependent. A quasi-static stiffness is observed for slow loading, with…
