Abstract

In this paper, a potential flow based numerical model is proposed for analysis of dynamic response of an offshore floating wind turbine system, with the consideration of hydrodynamic loads on the floating platform by the potential theory, the mooring lines by the catenary theory, and the aerodynamic loads on the wind turbine by the blade element momentum (BEM) theory. A semi-submersible type floating wind turbine which is being developed in Kyushu University is analyzed by the proposed numerical model.
