Hydrodynamic Loads On Offshore Wind Turbines
CASE STORY HYDRODYNAMIC LOADS ON OFFSHORE WIND TURBINES Drag, inertia and cross-flow forces on offshore foundations including secondary structures DONG Energy wanted to gain a better understanding of the effects of wave loads on offshore wind turbine foundations. To help them do this, we performed physical model tests and used OpenFOAM® to conduct numerical simulations to analyse wave-structure interaction. DONG Energy will use the inform
