INFLUENCE OF MODEL SIMPLIFICATIONS EXCITATION FORCE IN SURGE FOR A FLOATING FOUNDATION FOR OFFSHORE WIND TURBINES

Influence of Model Simplifications Excitation Force in Surge for a Floating Foundation for Offshore Wind Turbines

As offshore wind turbines move towards deeper and more distant sites, the concept of floating foundations is a potential technically and economically attractive alternative to the traditional fixed foundations.Unlike the well-studied monopile, the geometry of a floating foundation is complex and, thereby, increases the difficulty in wave force dete
