Offshore wind turbines present novel challenges to the field of rotor aerodynamics because
of complex behaviours associated with six degrees of freedom motions of the platform. The …

Over the past decade, there has been rapid increase in the offshore wind turbine
installations. The future installations will see a progression from shallow to deep waters. It …

This paper provides a summary of the work done within Phase III of the Offshore Code
Comparison Collaboration, Continued, with Correlation and unCertainty (OC6) project …

Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) have received great attention for deep water wind
energy harvesting. So far, research has been focused on a single floating rotor. However, for …

We investigate the aerodynamics of a surging, heaving, and yawing wind turbine with
numerical simulations based on a free-wake panel method. We focus on the UNAFLOW …

This study reports the results of the second round of analyses of the OC6 project Phase III.
While the first round investigated rotor aerodynamic loading, here focus is given to the wake …

Floating offshore wind turbines are subjected to large motions because of the additional
degrees of freedom offered by the floating foundation. The rotor operates in highly dynamic …

An accurate prediction of the unsteady loads acting on floating offshore wind turbines
(FOWTs) under consideration of wave excitation is crucial for a resource-efficient turbine …

The fluid-dynamic simulation of wind turbine aerodynamics is typically tackled by applying
multi-fidelity computational tools. In this context, the so-called actuator line model combines …

The aerodynamics of floating turbines is complicated by large motions which are permitted
by the floating foundation, and the interaction between turbine, wind and wake is not yet fully …
