Hydrodynamic Response of a Floating Offshore Wind Turbine
Résumé
As part of the 1st FOWT Comparative Study the hydrodynamic response of a floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) has been investigated (Ransley et al., 2022). The present work describes the detailed methodology and results obtained using a recently developed solver for the accurate simulation of such problems (Aliyar et al., 2022). The numerical model is based on the coupling of a nonlinear potential flow solver for the incident wave (HOS), a lumped-mass mooring dynamics model (Moordyn) and a CFD code named foamStar, based on OpenFOAM and developed by Centrale Nantes and Bureau Veritas.
