Abstract

An accurate study of a floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) system requires interdisciplinary knowledge about wind turbine aerodynamics, floating platform hydrodynamics and mooring line dynamics, as well as interaction between these discipline areas. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) provides a new means of analysing a fully coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) system in a detailed manner. In this paper, a numerical tool based on the open source CFD toolbox OpenFOAM for application to FOWTs will be described. Various benchmark cases are first modelled to demonstrate the capability of the tool. The OC4 DeepCWind semi-submersible FOWT model is then investigated under different operating conditions. With this tool, the effects of the dynamic motions of the floating platform on the wind turbine aerodynamic performance and the impact of the wind turbine aerodynamics on the behaviour of the floating platform and on the mooring system responses are examined. The present results provide quantitative information of three-dimensional FSI that may complement related experimental studies. In addition, CFD modelling enables the detailed quantitative analysis of the wind turbine flow field, the pressure distribution along blades and their effects on the wind turbine aerodynamics and the hydrodynamics of the floating structure, which is difficult to carry out experimentally.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
