A Nonlinear Computational Model of Floating Wind Turbines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The dynamic motion of floating wind turbines is studied using numerical simulations. The full threedimensional Navier–Stokes equations are solved on a regular structured grid using a level set method for the free surface ...
Benchmarking of a Computational Fluid Dynamics-Based Numerical Wave Tank for Studying Wave Load Effects on Fixed and Floating Offshore Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based numerical wave tank (NWT) is developed and verified to study wave load effects on fixed and free floating offshore structures. The model is based on solving Navier–Stokes equations ...
